And Warren's screen is NOT 80 feet. That's the whole point. Even if it were 80x40, like they claim, they couldn't actually use the whole screen at once. The dimensions for 80x40 are 2:1. Movies are ONLY released at 2.39:1 or 1.85:1. So they need to either use masking to make the screen shorter (making it "wider") or to make it less wide (so to make it "taller").

The Cine Capri is still the largest screen in Oklahoma.
all that said.... the Warren still makes all other theaters, including the Harkins, pale in comparison.

This last weekend I went to the Cinemark IMAX in Tulsa.... I don't know if that's supposed to be considered a nice theater or not, but it felt like a COMPLETE DUMP to me, especially after a few trips to the Warren. The concession and service quality was VERY POOR. It was amazing how bad it all was.....
