    Imax needs to flip the table and put the cost of production on the film companies. Also, IMAX needs to put more financial pressure on their partners who are installing the projectors. Collections should be good this quarter, thanks to the strong Avatar numbers.

    3D is rocking in China for Avatar. China has pulled the 2d version of the movie. Bodes well for IMAX in China.
