After the demand, PVR INOX announced on Thursday that more IMAX screens have been added. The tickets went on sale for more than 60 shows on Friday, delighting fans. For the unversed, Project Hail Mary was filmed for IMAX by using large-sensor Arri Alexa 65 cameras, which provide 6.5k or 20 MP of resolution, with an aspect ratio of 2:1:1, of which the whole sensor was used with anamorphic lenses rotated by 90 degrees, achieving a 1.43:1 aspect ratio, as needed for IMAX presentations.
