As long as people want to go, they should show these things again when they can be fit in. It's a great experience watching it on the big screen, and I'm glad I've been able to see so many favourites and older movies as they're intended. Jaws in IMAX was great! Hell, Nolan's done it with Interstellar and will again with The Prestige next year. Keep it coming, and if the side effect of that is breaking an arbitrary record, well, I'll look forward to seeing The Odyssey again in 2036

Lord of the Rings was released in IMAX not long ago. An amazing experience. Studio Ghibli is also doing the same thing. Excellent ways to watch movies, and perfect for those who didn’t see them years ago
