Following Jim Hill’s feature last week that reveals that Disney’s Aladdin is not quite yet headed for the Imax screen (though Disney’s reasons to replace it with a new Black Stallion film is unlikely to change the company’s current attitude to large format releases) comes news that another family studio, Warner Brothers, is taking up the slack. After successful issues of The Matrix sequels to Imax theaters, the WB is looking to tap into the family audience with a trio of would be blockbusters that will see them debut in large screen format theaters on the same “day and date” as their regular 35mm counterparts. Coming Soon has the full details, which announces that the next Harry Potter adventure, The Prisoner Of Azkaban is already sheduled to appear in June 2004, while the partnership is “discussing an Imax 3D release of [the CG animated] Polar Express in November 2004, and an Imax DMR release of [Tim Burton’s] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the summer of 2005″.
