MUMBAI: After Michael Bay, who directed all the three editions of Transformers, gave a hint over the weekend that Paramount Pictures was mulling with the idea to re-release Transformers: Dark of the Moon on Imax screens, it has now come to light that the exhibitor will indeed re-release the film.

The film that is set for an extended two-week run from 26 August to 8 September has been digitally re-mastered with proprietary Imax technology. In that period, Dark of the Moon will play in 246 Imax theaters in North America and in those two weeks, it will be screened simultaneously with other films already booked by Imax.
 
Dark of the Moon has been a runaway success at the worldwide box office, grossing $1.1 billion through Sunday, including $348.5 million at the domestic box office and $747 billion overseas.
 
It is said that James Cameron convinced that the 3D medium was right for the third Transformers installment.
