Imax Corporation and 20th Century Fox have signed a long term, multi-picture deal to bring upcoming tentpoles like DEADPOOL and the untitled WOLVERINE finale to large premium screens across the world!

This will mark the first time an X-Men related film has been screened on Imax.

“We are very happy to announce this new global affiliation with Imax and look forward to offering our audiences another choice in their viewing of our movies,” said Paul Hanneman, president of worldwide marketing and distribution, and Chris Aronson, president of domestic theatrical distribution. “We look forward to working with our partners in what is sure to be an exciting and rewarding future.”

Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, which was shot in 3D, doesn’t appear to be included on the list, which also includes Fox’s ‘Independence Day Resurgence’ and ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure.’ That’s likely due to Disney releasing ‘Alice: Through the Looking Glass” on the same day.

“We are extremely pleased to enter into this strategic alliance with Fox, with whom we have experienced some of our greatest successes,” said Imax CEO Richard L. Gelfond. “Given their exciting upcoming slate, the agreement makes strategic sense for both companies. We are also excited to be able to release blockbusters together in China, which we think could help Imax and Fox expand our footprint in that market jointly.”
