Looking for Fantastic Beasts? We know where to find them.

Two much-anticipated films are opening this month at the Airbus IMAX Theater at the Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. Discounted tickets for staff!

Doctor Strange Opens in IMAX 3D November 3

After a tragic accident, world-renowned neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions in order to defeat dark forces beyond reality as we know it.

More than an hour of Doctor Strange will be specially formatted for IMAX theaters. At the Airbus IMAX Theater these sequences will expand to fill more of the screen—delivering audiences 26 percent more of the image than standard theaters for a truly unique and immersive experience.
