Similarly to what they did in 2007 with “The Dark Knight”, /Film is reporting (with confirmation from several other sources) that Warner Brothers will attach a 6-minute prologue for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises to IMAX screenings of Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Warner Brothers employed a similar tactic in 2007 when they attached the opening sequence of “The Dark Knight” to IMAX screenings of “I Am Legend”.
Brad Bird’s ‘Ghost Protocol’ is scheduled to open in IMAX theaters on December 16, 2011, five days before its conventional theater release on December 21.
The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled to hit conventional and IMAX theaters on July 20, 2012.
