Is Venom in IMAX? Find out if Marvel’s new Venom movie is in IMAX, and how to get Venom IMAX tickets and find Venom IMAX showtimes.

Movie fans are gearing up for this weekend’s release of the next Marvel movie, so it’s time to ask a very important question: is Venom in IMAX?

It’s become standard procedure for Marvel to release its blockbuster films in IMAX. Almost every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie has gotten the premium format treatment. In fact, that was the entire point of the recent Marvel 10th Anniversay Film Festival — they joined forces with IMAX to screen every single MCU movie in IMAX over almost a week!

And though this movie is separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s still part of the Marvel brand (in cooperation with Marvel, anyway) so it’s still getting all the bells and whistles.

How do you locate Venom IMAX showtimes, or purchase Venom IMAX tickets? That’s easier than figuring out what to do with an alien symbiote. Either head to the IMAX website and find a theater in your area, or visit a retailer like Fandango to get your tickets there. You can pre-purchase tickets not only for the Oct. 5 opening day, but some theaters are offering screenings on Oct. 4.

Note that there will be not one, but two options for the movie: standard IMAX or IMAX 3D. So if seeing and hearing Eddie Brock and his nightmarish alien friend in top-quality video and audio isn’t enough, fans can add the 3D upper and freak themselves out seeing the symbiote wreak havoc in front of their faces.

However you prefer it, there’s a way to enjoy this highly anticipated movie with the best possible sound and picture. It’s upholding the same standard of presentation that’s been used for Captain America, Iron Man, and yes, Spider-Man. Even if the “hero” of this movie would try to eat any or all of them for breakfast.

But thanks to IMAX, you’ll see his malicious mischief in every possible detail and be able to have Tom Hardy’s creepy possessed voice haunting your dreams. Isn’t that worth going to the movies for?
