The closest theater to the Maumee 18 is the Rave Motion Pictures Fallen Timbers 14, which is located less than five miles away. That theater has already received the 3D digital projection system from the Maumee 18, which enables the Fallen Timbers 14 to play Toy Story 3 in Disney Digital 3D. The article mentions that an IMAX installation may be coming to the Fallen Timbers location in the future.
