LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) and Crazy Boat Pictures Ltd. today announced the wide release of "Deep Sky," an IMAX® Original documentary about NASA's Webb Telescope (JWST), exclusively in over 300 IMAX theatres across North America for a special 1-week limited run timed to Earth Day, starting April 19, 2024.  Directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by Oscar®-nominated actress Michelle Williams, "Deep Sky" follows the remarkable story of the scientists and engineers who helped design and launch JWST, NASA's largest science mission ever, now orbiting the sun a million miles from Earth, helping to unravel the mysteries of our origins and, perhaps, our future.
