Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The extension supports premium-ticket pricing and potentially higher per-seat margins in a constrained 70mm segment. History shows premium formats can lift ticket revenue even when volume is capped, as seen in prior IMAX runs of limited-release, high-demand titles. A positive re-rate could occur if the premium format demonstrates sticky demand and constrains supply.
