The partnership between Dolphin Entertainment and IMAX leverages complementary strengths: IMAX's premium viewing technology and institutional network combined with Dolphin's content production capabilities. For a micro-cap company like Dolphin (
The involvement of established industry figures like J.J. Abrams and Glen Powell adds significant marketing value and credibility, potentially driving stronger audience engagement across different viewing formats. The global institutional theater rollout across multiple countries indicates strong international market potential, particularly important for documentary content monetization.
This multi-platform release strategy exemplifies modern content monetization at its finest. The progression from theatrical release to streaming platform success and now to specialized IMAX 3D institutional venues, maximizes the content's lifecycle value. The institutional theater market is particularly valuable as it provides consistent, long-term revenue streams without the high marketing costs associated with commercial theatrical releases.
The timing of this 3D version release is strategic, capitalizing on both the documentary's proven market success and IMAX's expanded institutional network of 1,788 systems across 89 countries. The diverse venue mix - from cruise ships to science centers - ensures broad audience reach and multiple revenue streams. For Dolphin Entertainment, this represents an efficient way to generate recurring revenue from existing content through premium-priced IMAX tickets, while the institutional nature of many venues provides stable, predictable audience flow.

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 16, 2025 / The Blue Angels have been enthralling people across the country and around the globe for more than 75 years. IMAX Entertainment and Dolphin Entertainment (NASDAQ:DLPN) proudly present a thrilling new 3D version of the documentary "The Blue Angels" taking audiences soaring with the Navy's elite Flight Demonstration Squadron. The documentary will be opening in IMAX institutional theatres across the globe, including the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center IMAX, Carnival Cruises IMAX Theaters, and more.
Filmed For IMAX® immersive footage puts viewers directly into the cockpit for a firsthand view of the Blue Angels' precision flying, while the aerial shots deliver a spectacular showcase of the breathtaking maneuvers that have made them the world's premier jet team. The filmmakers behind "The Blue Angels" were granted unprecedented access-on the ground and in the air-to invite audiences along, from the first days of rigorous training through to the final show and the passing of the torch to a new team. But even as the documentary lifts the veil of the Blue Angels mystique, it only magnifies the Blue Angels magic.
"We're so proud of this majestic film and we're excited by the opportunity to share it with audiences for years to come in the IMAX institutional theaters," said Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin. "This, coupled with the new 3D recut of the film, are even more examples of IMAX's unique reach and ability to deliver an extraordinary viewing experience to audiences."
Producer J.J. Abrams adds, "A documentary following an entire year with the Blue Angels-and doing it in IMAX with tools that are traditionally used in narrative storytelling-felt like an amazing opportunity. Most of the preparation and planning went into filming the aerial maneuvers, but it doesn't compare to what they go through in preparing for their season. It's a remarkable thing to see."
Glen Powell, best known for his starring roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters, stepped behind the camera to serve as a producer. "When we look up and see something spectacular, we just take it for granted that it is right," he notes. "But we don't see all the effort that it takes to bring that spectacular thing to life. Watching these people sit around the table literally ‘chair flying' the entire demo and then breaking it down, you feel that relentless pursuit of perfection. It's a different language; you can't even process what they're saying, but you know there is intent behind everything. It really makes it crackle."
The Blue Angels will have a continuous roll-out across IMAX institutional theaters throughout the year, and will play at regular intervals in many theaters for years to come. Theaters screening The Blue Angels as of January 17, 2025 include:
