Imax Corp. and Burbank’s Warner Bros. Pictures have extended their partnership for a further five years with a deal to release up to 30 of the studio’s biggest upcoming films in Imax’s special presentation format.

Tentpole films such as “Batman v Superman,” “Suicide Squad,” “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and Harry Potter-spinoff “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” are included in the multi-picture agreement.

“IMAX provides an immersive moviegoing experience that is unparalleled. We have an exciting and extremely diverse slate and look forward to giving audiences the opportunity to see a variety of films on the largest possible canvas,” Warner’s domestic distribution president Dan Fellman said in a statement.

“We’ve had an incredible partnership with Warner Bros. for more than 10 years and we’re excited and grateful to extend that partnership,” said Imax Chief Executive Richard Gelfond in a statement.

Imax, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, has the capacity to display images of far greater size and resolution than conventional film systems. At the start of this year there were 934 IMAX theatres in 62 countries.
