The upcoming IMAX release of Free Solo starting Friday has been advertised for a couple weeks, but the IMAX website does not have up to date information. However, in some cases local theatres are selling advance tickets. eg Sacramento

Only select theatres will be showing it, for one week only. So you should check the web sites for your closest IMAX theaters or give them a call.

We're not ignoring you Ed, just that nobody knows what IMAX is up to yet...

Interesting article, esp for cinematography buffs...

"Those shooting on the wall had stripped-down Canon C300 MIIs, and we also had a number of fixed Canon 1DX MII cameras set up for remote trigger shooting in some of the most precarious spots where we wanted to give Alex the most space. We used a traditional jib arm where we could but also built a stripped-down wall-climbing jib arm we could use up on El Cap. For the aerial shots, we had a helicopter 3,000 feet above the valley rim, with a mounted ShotOver gyrostabilized system and a Canon Cine-Servo 50-1000mm lens. We also had a Canon Cine-Servo 50-1000mm lens shooting from a distance on the ground."

It's going to IMAX. Lotsa commercials promoting it on the National Geographic channel.
Or is this old news?

Click California in the drop down menu to see locations.
Hardman, if you do this you get the Landmark Opera Plaza Theatre on Van Ness. I don't think its an IMAX. Sacramento is the closest IMAX venue selling tickets (so far)...

That link was gotten to by clicking through this; it clearly mentions Imax.
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/films/free-solo/
Here's what it shows for Ca:
It would be very misleading if these are knott Imax screenings!
Edit: It does say "starting Jan 11th". If in doubt one can always call the theater to make sure.

Starts about 5 min in. What's kind of fun is considering the contrasting povs of Armstrong and Honnold.

re: the silverfish
"Silverfish are agile runners and can outrun most of their predators (including wandering spiders and centipedes). However, such running is possible only on horizontal surfaces, as they lack any additional appendages, and therefore are not fast enough to climb walls at the same speed."
