Top: Hoyts Plaza Melbourne with the wrap-around curtains that covered a screen image 63 feet wide by 24 feet high (24m x

Above: The curtains in Hoyts Plaza Sydney cover a larger screen. Here the image was 76 feet by 28 feet, still smaller than
when the screen was in the Roosevelt Miami Beach, where the image measured 80 feet x 30 feet.
