Imax Says Matrix Film Deal A 'Watershed Event' >IMAX

Earlier Wednesday, Imax and Warner Bros., a division of AOL Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:AOL - News) , announced that the second and third chapters of "The Matrix" trilogy, to be released in the spring and fall, will be digitally-remastered using Imax DMR - a technology that upgrades live-action 35mm films into the Imax experience.

Imax has said that the simultaneous release of first-run Hollywood event films in its theaters is the "holy grail" for the company, and it's something investors have been anxiously anticipating for some time.

Although "The Matrix Reloaded" will open in Imax theaters two or three weeks after its general release May 15, "The Matrix Revolutions" will open Nov. 5 in both conventional and Imax cinemas, marking the first time that a live-action Hollywood film is released concurrently in both large- and standard-sized formats, known in the industry as a day-and-date release.
