As reported by The Dallas Morning News, CineMark
adds North Texas' first 3D equipped IMAX screen on September
3rd. 'T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous' will be the first 3D film to play
the theater (with at least 10 daily showings).

A funny story about the film. There were a lot of complaints about
the preview (that Ron said he saw). It was shown 2D and 3D in
standard theaters and Large Format theaters. Some small children
were scared to death, when they had gone to see one of the other
3D Large Format films and were shown the T-Rex 3D trailer. In
one shot that IMAX was very proud of, the T-Rex turns his head,
opens his mouth and growls while his head comes out of the screen
and into your lap. IMAX included this shot in the trailer, well one
little girl that I know about wet her pants when she saw it. The
T-Rex was probably very surprised when he stuck his head in her
lap.

Thanks for the time,
Lawrence
