It’s a costly endeavor, but if you have between $1-$2 million to spend, IMAX will come to your not-so-humble abode and build you your very own private home theater featuring the latest and greatest of the popular imaging technology.

No stone or inch will be left unturned because the company will factor in everything from the room’s geometry, seat placement, acoustics, 7.1 surround sound — basically, all the pieces that complement the giant floor-to-ceiling screen. Oh, and even if your dream mansion hasn’t been built just yet, IMAX will also work with architects and developers to make it happen.

To sweeten the deal, it will also one-up the technology movie goers are used to at public theaters by installing dual projectors with 4K resolution, one that does 2D and the other 3D. The added bonus is the projectors can display on a monstrous screen 120-feet wide, rather than the typical 71-foot size. Not to worry though, local theaters will be scooping this up this year, so the rich and famous won’t have the luxury of early adoption for too long.

And if all that wasn’t enough, IMAX will keep a full commitment to maintaining the technology by offering 24/7 support and constantly monitoring the setup to make sure it’s running as promised.

When IMAX says this is available to “a select few”, it didn’t confirm whether that meant a limited number of installs it could handle, or just those who could afford it and had the space to fit it all in.

A guide to Sony’s 2026 TVs and home theater lineup
Sony’s latest BRAVIA lineup introduces True RGB technology alongside new TVs and home theater audio products.
BRAVIA 7 II

Sony thinks it may have cracked the code for home theater this year. The company is not just launching new TVs. Instead, it is rethinking how televisions create color with a new technology called True RGB, while also expanding its home theater lineup with products like the BRAVIA Theater Trio. After getting an early look at the lineup in New York, it became clear why Sony believes True RGB could be one of the biggest stories in its 2026 portfolio.

The technology was the centerpiece of Sony's presentation, but the broader message was equally interesting. According to the company, many premium TVs are still optimized for ideal viewing conditions rather than the environments where most people actually watch television. Sony shared data suggesting that only around 13% of viewers watch content in settings similar to a movie theater or professional grading suite. The remaining 87% are watching in bright living rooms, open floor plans, and spaces where lighting conditions constantly change throughout the day.3
