World War Z gets an IMAX 3D release this weekend

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Apparently hoping to milk every cent it can out of the film, Paramount has decided to put WORLD WAR Z into select IMAX 3D theaters for a one-week engagement starting Friday, August 2nd. The film has already played in select IMAX theatres internationally.

WORLD WAR Z has done well for the studio, grossing $192 million domestically. One would assume that the studio wants that number to rise over $200 million, partially for bragging rights (after the film's well-publicized production issues) and also because its other big sumer release,PACIFIC RIM, has disappointed in North America, banking only $84 million so far.

Whatever the motivation, those tumbling zombies are rolling across the screen once again starting on Friday.

World War Z revolves around an ex-United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop a pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. The film stars Pitt, Mireille Enos and James Badge Dale.
