Due to high levels of consumer demand, IMAX Corporation and HBO today announced that the first-ever presentation of a television program in IMAX® theatres featuring two episodes from season four of Game of Thrones followed by the worldwide debut of the series’ season five sneak-peek preview created exclusively for IMAX, will now launch one week later on Thursday, January 29 beginning at 10 p.m. and extend through February 5.

Thia date change allows for an expanded roll-out of screens to upwards of 200 IMAX theatres.  Tickets will officially go on sale on the IMAX website here, starting Friday, January 16th.  To date, confirmed cities include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New York, San Antonio, Seattle, Toronto and Washington, D.C., to name a few. A full list of venues is available on the website and fans can check local listings in the coming days for more available IMAX locations.

The first 300 IMAX ticket holders for the Thursday night opening show time at participating IMAX theatres will receive a commemorative Game of Thrones poster from well-known illustrator Robert Ball, who designed interpretive images of the most iconic deaths in each episode.  The two season 4 episodes being shown will be “The Watchers on The Wall”, and “The Children”.
