Six-minute prologue plays before 70mm Sinners and One Battle After Another
A near six-minute Trojan horse sequence ran ahead of IMAX 70mm re-releases of two other studios' films. From 19 December a shorter version played before every Avatar: Fire and Ash screening, and the full prologue before its IMAX shows.
Why it matters
The longest preview went only to 70mm audiences, and the shorter cut rode on the biggest film of the holiday season.
