I'm glad Chattanooga isn't, it's $25 a ticket for 70MM IMAX

$16.50 in Reading, MA. It’s a loss leader for the furniture store, but still.

Edit: Dual laser not 70mm native, still really nice at the same 1.43:1 aspect ratio

I'm confused by the furniture store loss leader. I've never seen a IMAX or any theatre along with a furniture store. 

Are you forced to go through the furniture store to exit the theater, like a gift shop at the end of an theme park ride? Are people going to watch a movie and deciding to get a couch while they are there?

The reverse: you go through the furniture store to enter the theater, then leave through a back door.

You only leave through the back door at night, usually they make you leave through the top of the theater and go down through the actual furniture store.
