I haven't been to Cinemark Tinseltown yet so I haven't confirmed in person, so maybe you have in person knowledge over me? But I believe Cinemark Tinsletown has Xenon projectors (and are supposed to get a Laser upgrade soon).

Cinemark's website doesn't really give you the information but the IMAX webpage is not showing it with Laser and they will explicitly denote if it has Laser.

you're not wrong - I may have jumped the gun with adding laser. I remembered seeing they are getting a Laser upgrade, but didn't check to see if it was done yet.

It's definitely coming as here is the official press release from IMAX (https://www.imax.com/pr/imax-and-cinemark-strike-agreement-imax-laser-and-imax-70mm-film)

The SR will be running for Project Hail Mary though so I think it's safe to add that as active now

I don't see any other Xenon projectors listed in the database, what is the nomenclature to use?

Yeah that was the next thing I was wondering as well. It's a great problem to have because it's the first time IMAX film projectors are actually get reactivated. We've been on the down trend for so long that the databases we maintain don't even account for activations where the digital projector type would normally have it not listed like in this case.

I'll let @anthonylavado comment on how to document this correctly since this is his app.

I was going to bring Xenon into the fold shortly, but yeah, Tinseltown has actually had its SR projectors this entire time. They've recently been serviced (I think it was about two months ago?) and are good to go for PHM.

As for how to list it, the Cineplex Cinemas in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada is an example (that's the one I frequent for 15/70 film).

I'll look it over later today.

Sorry for the long delay on this. Looks good. I confirmed with a source that the film projectors there are indeed a dual SR setup. As with other locations, only one is in use.

Just checked in with a contact regarding laser. Nothing at the moment, just the regular IMAX Xenon system. I'll correct the listing later.
