how the IMAX saved The dark knight

The dark knight was heavily promoted through the fact it was filmed on IMAX cameras. many people believe that this is the reason for the dark knight's huge box office success. 

The dark knight was the first ever film to be shot partially using an IMAX  camera and was directed by Christopher Nolan.

Also IMAX films have a 70mm film reel as oppose to the normal 35mm film reel used on normal films.

Because of the huge success of the use of IMAX cameras more directors are going to probably use IMAX in the future.

Also there is only around 7 IMAX camera in the whole world and each is worth around 1 million pounds each

Advantage of the IMAX
best quality and sheer size because it is massive

Disadvantage of the IMAX
cameras are too heavy and therefore cannot be held and so there can't be any hand held shots in the film

Digital Screen Network

The average Hollywood blockbuster opens on 300-plus screens across the UK; most independent films, restored classics, documentaries and foreign language films still struggle to reach over ten per cent of those screens.

Digital screening cuts the cost of releasing films (a digital copy costs around one tenth of a 35mm print). That's why UK Film Council (now BFI) and the Arts Council England created the Digital Screen Network – a £12 million investment to equip 240 screens in 210 cinemas across the UK with digital projection technology to give UK audiences much greater choice.
Cinemas in the network have already screened non-mainstream films including Control, This is England, Good Night and Good Luck and the Oscar®-winning The Lives of Others, as well as classics like Meet me in St Loius, The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca.
Digital Screen Network cinemas hosted the UK Film Council and BBC Two's Summer of British Films season - a sell out tour running from July to September 2007 featuring British classics such as Goldfinger, Brief Encounter, Billy Liar, Henry V, The Wicker Man, The Dam Busters and Withnail and I.
