Nevertheless, there’s a possibility that Oppenheimer will be released in 15/70 as well, but for a very limited number of prints (a few dozen?). And another cool fact: The 163-minute Interstellar film print weighs over 270kg. Everything is digital unless otherwise noted. However, other rumors indicate that for Tenet, there were only 13 15/70 prints playing in the entire world. According to the video, the last film that was printed to be screened on IMAX 15/70 film projector is Dunkirk, which is also, a Nolan project. However, that’s true when watching the film in a real IMAX 15/70 projector, which is rare these days. Actually, simple math can confirm that (when compared to 4 perforations of 35mm). Many estimates that IMAX film is equivalent to 18K of resolution. Picture: Kyle Mikolajczyk Kyle Mikolajczyk with an IMAX 15/70 frame. In IMAX film cameras there’s a vacuum that helps this huge film stock run inside the box/magazine. Moreover, a massive 15,000 Watt explosive Arc Lamps are required to illuminate the 5.5 feet per second of film flying by (or 3.5 Mph), since those 15 perforations need to run at the same frames per second (24 fps) as 35mm. The video proves (very well, BTW) that real IMAX film can not be compared to other formats. However, the IMAX frame comprises 15 perforations which is huge. In 70mm (non-IMAX) there are 5 perforations.
But more importantly, the size of 15/70 is shown as superior to the other stocks. The video demonstrates film sizes of 70mm, and 35mm, compared to 16mm and even 8mm. Confused? A very neat video titled “Why Oppenheimer on IMAX 70mm film Is a big deal” explains that very well. Basically, that means the film was shot with a variety of film stocks, including specially made Black & White IMAX, combined with 35mm, and 70mm (non-IMAX) film sticks. Moreover, at the end of the trailer, it clearly states: “In theaters with special engagements in 70mm, 35mm, and IMAX film”. Hence, it’s defined as “Film on IMAX Cameras” or “Shot With IMAX Film Cameras” rather than “Filmed for IMAX”.
Unlike any other IMAX projects which are being shot on IMAX-certified cameras, Oppenheimer was filmed with true IMAX beasts.

We wrote a series of articles about this next Christopher Nolan masterpiece. The most anticipated film of 2023 is definitely Oppenheimer. Picture: Kyle Mikolajczyk Oppenheimer’s declaration Have you ever wondered why IMAX enthusiasts insist on finding the best theater to watch a “Shot With IMAX Film Cameras” movie? What does the term 15/70 mean? And how is it important for your viewing experience? Also, why IMAX film is equivalent to 18K of resolution? And what’s the connection to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer? 35mm frame vs.
