Disney clarifies Infinity Vision as voluntary marketing program for premium non-IMAX screens, key details still pending
By
J. Sperling Reich
Summary
Disney's Head of Global Theatrical Distribution, Andrew Cripps, provided the clearest public explanation yet of the company's Infinity Vision program at ICTA's Cinema Technology Experience in Barcelona. He described Infinity Vision as a voluntary marketing program for premium large-format (PLF) screens that are not IMAX, rather than a formal certification scheme. Cripps emphasized it's designed to help exhibitors differentiate their premium screens and give consumers clarity about what to expect. Key details — including technical specifications, pricing, and rollout timeline — remain undefined, with Disney still working through the program's parameters with exhibition partners.

· 3 pulledIt's a marketing program, not a certification scheme. It's voluntary, and it's designed to help exhibitors who have invested in premium large-format screens that aren't IMAX to better communicate that experience to consumers.
We're still working through the details. This is a collaborative process with our exhibition partners, and we want to get it right.
The goal is consumer clarity. When someone walks into a theater, they should know what kind of experience they're paying for.
