Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), RealD (RLD): Is IMAX Corporation (USA) (IMAX) Destined for Greatness?

IMAX has also partnered with Ecuadorean cinema company Supercines to install two IMAX theatres in Guayaquil, the most populous city in Ecuador. My Foolish colleague Rich Duprey also notes that Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE:RGC) recently entered into a partnership with IMAX to enhance the premium movie experience for 123 of its more than 7,300 screens — that leaves a whole lot of potential converts for the future.

Fool contributor Travis Hoium notes that small and big screens have both been struggling to capitalize on 3-D technology, which has yet to catch on with consumers. IMAX and RealD (NYSE:RLD) have both been hurt by this fallout, but in the long run, it might be to IMAX’s advantage that the big-screen experience refocus around its high-end projection. However, RealD has launched a new big-screen concept called LUXE, which may push back against IMAX’s dominance of high-end screenings. On the other hand, IMAX has been riding high in China thanks to impressive growth in its deployed screens — there are 113 IMAX-enabled theaters in China today, and another 117 are under construction.

Putting the pieces together

Today, IMAX has few of the qualities that make up a great stock, but no stock is truly perfect. Digging deeper can help you uncover the answers you need to make a great buy — or to stay away from a stock that’s going nowhere.
