Practical Magic? As in the current Hollywood release?
Are other IMAX theaters doing this currently? I don't live
close enough to one (anymore) to know. I've not seen PM --
are there a bunch of special effects in it that would lend
themselves well to an IMAX screen? (now, Star Trek, Independence
Day, Godzilla, etc - I could see a basis (maybe) for...)...

THANKS
