In deciding how to re-launch their theatre after an IMAX with Laser conversion, the creative team at Montreal Science Centre IMAX Telus Theatre realized that a new film would be the perfect way to generate awareness. Promoting them together, especially given the limited marketing budget, would improve campaign efficiency and generate strong interest in both the theatre and the new film. After closing for six weeks to complete the upgrade, Montreal Science Centre reopened the IMAX Telus Theatre with the new IMAX with Laser in February of 2017, with the MacGillivray Freeman film America Wild: National Parks Adventure.

In 2017, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science Phipps IMAX Theater (DMNS) made the star of their Extreme Weather 3D marketing campaign an object instead of a person—move over, Sean Casey.

The Science Museum of Minnesota was pleased to launch in February 2015 a triple-header of programming that transformed the museum through summer 2015 into the most engaging and robust space museum between the North American coasts.

The Jerusalem campaign from National Geographic Studios was designed to provide top-level support for the film and work in tandem with local theater efforts. One key strategy was to create an outreach campaign to the interfaith community in order to minimize any miscommunications as to the film's message. If done properly, this would eliminate negativity and boost the success of the film as these groups become advocates of the film.
