TORONTO – "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released in both large–format IMAX and conventional theaters when the third film in the series opens next summer.
The movie, directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on the popular book by J.K. Rowling, is scheduled for release in the United States on June 4. It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
"We are so pleased that this summer, `Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,' which lends itself beautifully to IMAX's format, will play throughout the IMAX theater network," Dan Fellman, president, domestic distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, said in a statement Thursday.
IMAX, a Toronto–based projection equipment developer, has been adapting its technology for mainstream Hollywood productions and movie theaters, thereby expanding its market beyond documentary films for science centers and institutional venues.
"This announcement is yet another indication that we are achieving our goal of bringing the very best Hollywood event films to IMAX theaters, which we believe is key to expanding the IMAX network around the world," Richard Gelfond and Bradley Wechsler, co–chairmen and co–chief executive officers of IMAX Corp., said in a statement.
