If you're in North Jersey, there should be plenty of options. If you're in the city, I would hold out for Lincoln Center. Never heard it called Lincoln Square but apparently that's the proper name. Anyway, never been to that theater but I've heard it one of best IMAX venues around. Take that for what it's worth.
I'm willing to bet that the issue never "comes up."
There are very few true 70mm IMAX theatres in North America. The only one around here is the Sony Lincoln Square, where I saw Dune 2, and that is in NYC. It's easy to get to for me, but, it's sold out for weeks. North Jersey will have some big IMAX screens but zero of the true 70mm ones. That screen is completely insane. Dune on that thing was just stunning. I've seen various IMAX documentaries at that theatre as well. I remember over 20 years ago eating mushrooms and going there and watching the IMAX documentary on Everest. The same year Jon Krakauer climbed Everest for his book Into Thin Air, also the same year it was a huge tragedy with one or two well-known and regarded top tour guides died on that mountain, plus a bunch of others. The one guy had to say goodbye to his wife knowing he was going to die. It was intense.
What was annoying was the switches from the full 70mm experience to portions of the movie which use a regular IMAX part of the screen in Dune. Turns out, the 70mm IMAX cameras are so goddamn loud, they can't use them in scenes that are totally dialogue focused on the quieter side of volume. You'd think they could filter it out with tech, but I guess not. It's the same reason Oppenheimer switches back and forth from the two formats.
