Thanks Craig. After a bit of searching I found an article explaining the brief history of Fresno IMAX.

It originally opened in Nov 1999 as a real IMAX Theater. I recall seeing Adventures in Wild California and Fantasia 2000 on the big screen during that time. Very impressive. Then in Aug 2001 it suddenly closed due to bankruptcy.

Regal Entertainment Group bought the theater and reopened it in 2004, but it was only used to show 35 millimeter films.

Two years later in 2006, an IMAX screen(50ft x 70ft) and projector were added bringing it back to life.

I've been fortunate to see a few movies since then and always been wowed with great video and audio. The Dark Knight(2008) viewing was quite exceptional.
