Reception
Many commentators felt Infinity Vision was created as a response to Dune: Part Three (2026), which releases the same day as Doomsday, having three weeks of exclusive access to IMAX screens.[5][6][7] IMAX CFO Natasha Fernandes said the company viewed Infinity Vision as "a marketing play" for this reason.[8] The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd predicted that Infinity Vision would not be mentioned again after Doomsday's release.[5]
