Basis of Presentation and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Supplemental Information [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation IMAX Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), prepares its financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which the Company has identified as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs as required by the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”). The Company has nine film production companies that are VIEs. For four of the Company’s film production companies, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities as the Company has the power to direct the activities of the respective VIE that most significantly impact the respective VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the respective VIE or the right to receive benefits from the respective VIE that could potentially be significant to the respective VIE. The majority of these consolidated assets are held by the IMAX Original Film Fund (the “Film Fund”) as described in note 16(b). For the other five film production companies which are VIEs, the Company did not consolidate these film entities since it does not have the power to direct activities and does not absorb the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns. The Company equity accounts for these entities. A loss in value of an investment other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to the condensed consolidated statements of operations . Total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs are as follows: June 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Total assets $ 5,417 $ 10,346 Total liabilities $ 6,458 $ 6,368 Total assets and liabilities of the VIE entities which the Company does not consolidate are as follows: June 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Total assets $ 444 $ 444 Total liabilities $ 374 $ 363 The Company’s exposure, which is determined based on the level of funding contributed by the Company and the development stage of the respective film, is $nil at June 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 — $nil). The Company accounts for investments in new business ventures using the guidance of the FASB ASC 323 “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (“ASC 323”) or ASC 320 “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320”), as appropriate. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including all unrealized intercompany profits on transactions with equity-accounted investees, have been eliminated. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“the 2016 Form 10-K”) which should be consulted for a summary of the significant accounting policies utilized by the Company. These interim financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 , except as noted below. Certain prior period information has been revised to reflect the current period information. |

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes | 2. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes Adoption of New Accounting Policies The Company adopted the following standards on January 1, 2017, which are effective for annual periods ending after December 31, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). The purpose of the amendment is to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards. Under the ASU inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The clarifications are not intended to result in any changes in practice and to reduce the complexity in guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. This standard only applies to inventory being measured using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods of accounting for inventory. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships” (“ASU 2016-05”). The amendments in ASU 2016-05 apply to all reporting entities for which there is a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under Topic 815. The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria (including those in paragraphs 815-20-35-14 through 35-18) continue to be met. The adoption of this ASU 2016-05 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” (“ASU 2016-07”). The purpose of the amendment is to eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments require the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of 2017. The impact from the adoption was reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on a modified retrospective basis resulting in an increase to Accumulated deficit of $8.3 million, a decrease to Other assets of $14.8 million, an increase to Deferred taxes of $7.9 million and an increase to Accrued and other liabilities of $1.4 million. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”. The purpose of ASU 2016-17 is to update the requirement of the reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standard Codification Updates In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The purpose of the amendment is to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. New disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements to provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current guidance, however ASU 2016-02 will provide improvements that are intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee model and with updated revenue recognition guidance. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. As a lessor, the Company has a significant portion of its revenue derived from leases, including its joint revenue sharing arrangements, and while the lessor accounting model is not fundamentally different, the Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on this revenue stream. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”). The purpose of ASU 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). The purpose of ASU 2016-10 is to provide more detailed guidance in the following key areas: identifying performance obligations and licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, to rescind from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification certain SEC paragraphs as a result of two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 meeting. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”). The purpose of ASU 2016-12 is to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectibility criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical corrections. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2016-20 represent changes to clarify the accounting standard codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification that are related to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For public companies, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, which are all related to Topic 606, are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. . The Company has performed an analysis of its contracts to determine those in scope of the standard, has performed detailed analyses of those contracts and identified its performance obligations. At this time, the Company does not believe its future distinct performance obligations will be significantly different from its current deliverables, including its existing system deliverable. The Company has also determined that its revenues from the Digital Re-mastering (“DMR”) of films, theater system hybrid sales and sales contracts will be impacted to varying degrees by the inclusion of variable consideration in the calculation of contract consideration. Revenues from film distribution are expected to use the sales-based royalty model of revenue recognition and as a result, the Company does not expect a significant difference from the current revenue recognition methodology. Revenue recognition practices for aftermarket sales, new business and owned and operated theaters are not expected to change. The Company anticipates that DMR revenues will accelerate from the period in which the gross box office is earned to the period in which the film is released to the IMAX theater network. Hybrid sales revenues will increase by an estimated amount of variable consideration earned from gross box office over the term of the arrangement, appropriately constrained on account of the extent of time until resolution of the contingency. Sales contract consideration will also increase by a component of variable consideration for consumer price index increases and gross box office returns, though the Company does not expect the number to be significant to any one contract. The Company currently intends to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method and continues to make significant progress in gathering historical information on its contracts in preparation applying the opening adjustment and for preparing the standard’s expanded disclosure requirements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The purpose of ASU 2016-13 is to require a financial asset measured on the amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-01 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The purpose of the amendment is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). The amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and other components of the net periodic benefit cost be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-07 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or condition of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment awards, ASU 2017-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. . The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued FASB accounting standard codification updates. Accounting standards updates that are not noted above were assessed and determined to be not applicable or not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2017 . |

Credit Facility and Playa Vista Loan [Abstract] | |
Credit Facility and Playa Vista Construction Loan [Text Block] | 7. Credit Facility and Playa Vista Loan The Company maintains a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 200.0 million and a scheduled maturity of March 3, 2020. The Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and the Guarantors. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries serve as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. The terms of the Credit Facility are set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated March 3, 2015, among the Company, the Guarantors, the lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as agent and issuing lender (Wells Fargo, together with the lenders named therein, the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and in various collateral and security documents entered into by the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors has also entered into a guarantee in respect of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. On February 22, 2016, the Company amended the terms of the Credit Agreement to increase the general restricted payment basket thereunder (which covers, among other things, the repurchase of shares) from $150.0 million to $350.0 million in the aggregate after the amendment date. The Company was in compliance with all of its requirements at June 30, 2017 . Total amounts drawn and available under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2017 were $nil and $ 200.0 million, respectively (December 31, 2016 — $nil and $ 200.0 million, respectively). As at June 30, 2017 , the Company did not have any letters of credit and advance payment guarantees outstanding (December 31, 2016 — $nil), under the Credit Facility. Playa Vista Financing IMAX PV Development Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PV Borrower”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Wells Fargo. The loan (the “Playa Vista Loan”) was used to principally fund the costs of development and construction of the West Coast headquarters of the Company, located in the Playa Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, California (the “Playa Vista Project”). In connection with the Playa Vista Project, the Playa Vista Loan was fully drawn at $30.0 million and bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to 2.0% above the 30-day LIBOR rate. PV Borrower is required to make monthly payments of combined principal and interest over a 10-year term with a lump sum payment at the end of year 10. The Playa Vista Loan is being amortized over 15 years. The Playa Vista Loan will be fully due and payable on October 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), and may be prepaid at any time without premium, but with all accrued interest and other applicable payments. The Playa Vista Loan is secured by a deed of trust from PV Borrower in favor of Wells Fargo and other documents evidencing and securing the loan (the “Loan Documents”), granting a first lien on and security interest in the Playa Vista property and the Playa Vista Project, including all improvements to be constructed thereon. The Loan Documents include absolute and unconditional payment and completion guarantees provided by the Company to Wells Fargo for the performance by PV Borrower of all the terms and provisions of the Playa Vista Loan. The Loan Documents contain affirmative, negative and financial covenants (including compliance with the financial covenants of the Company’s outstanding Credit Facility), agreements, representations, warranties, borrowing conditions, and events of default customary for development projects such as the Playa Vista Project. Bank indebtedness includes the following: June 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Playa Vista Loan $ 26,667 $ 27,667 Deferred charges on debt financing (331) (351) $ 26,336 $ 27,316 Total amounts drawn under the loan at June 30, 2017 was $ 26.7 million (December 31, 2016 — $ 27.7 million). The effective interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.08 % and 2.97 %, respectively ( 2016 — 2.44 % and 2.44 %, respectively). In accordance with the loan agreement, the Company is obligated to make payments on the principal of the loan as follows: 2017 (six months remaining) $ 1,000 2018 2,000 2019 2,000 2020 2,000 2021 2,000 Thereafter 17,667 $ 26,667 Wells Fargo Foreign Exchange Facility Within the Credit Facility, the Company is able to purchase foreign currency forward contracts and/or other swap arrangements. There is no settlement risk on its foreign currency forward contracts at June 30, 2017 , as the fair value exceeded the notional value of the forward contracts. As at June 30, 2017 , the Company has $ 37.0 million in notional value of such arrangements outstanding. Bank of Montr eal Facility As at June 30, 2017 , the Company has available a $ 10.0 million facility (December 31, 2016 — $ 10.0 million) with the Bank of Montreal for use solely in conjunction with the issuance of performance guarantees and letters of credit fully insured by Export Development Canada (the “Bank of Montreal Facility”). The Company did not have any letters of credit and advance payment guarantees outstanding as at June 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 — $ 0.1 million) under the Bank of Montreal Facility. |

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Guarantees | 8. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Commitments In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements with third parties that include non-cancelable payment obligations, for which it is liable in future periods. These arrangements can include terms binding the Company to minimum payments and/or penalties if it terminates the agreement for any reason other than an event of default as described by the agreement. The Company has a minimum commitment of $39.2 million toward the development, production, post-production and marketing related to certain film and new content initiatives. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has spent $13.4 million, and expects to spend $23.1 million during the remainder of the year. Contingencies and guarantees The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company will make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to the claims at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case. Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Company’s determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such a change in determination, settlement or judgment occurs. The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred. On May 15, 2006, the Company initiated arbitration against Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (“3DMG”) before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New York (the “ICDR”), alleging breaches of the license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG. On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that the Company breached the parties’ license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the ICDR unanimously denied 3DMG’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the Company’s claims and 3DMG’s counterclaims. The proceeding was suspended on May 4, 2009 due to failure of 3DMG to pay fees associated with the proceeding. The proceeding was further suspended on October 11, 2010 pending resolution of re-examination proceedings involving one of 3DMG’s patents. Following a status conference on April 27, 2016 before the ICDR, the ICDR granted 3DMG leave to amend its answer and counterclaims, and subsequently lifted the stay in this matter. In its amended counterclaims, 3DMG seeks damages for alleged unpaid royalties and other fees under the license and consulting agreements. The ICDR held a final hearing during the week of July 10, 2017, which will continue for two additional days on September 6 and 8, 2017. The Company believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in connection with the amended counterclaims would not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the arbitration. As no amount in the range is more likely than any other amount in the range, therefore the minimum amount in the range has been used to measure the amount to be accrued for this loss contingency. In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theatre Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced an arbitration seeking damages before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) with respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (“EML”) of its December 2000 agreement with the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against EML’s affiliate, E-City Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (“E-City”). On March 27, 2008, the arbitration panel issued a final award in favor of the Company in the amount of $11.3 million, consisting of past and future rents owed to the Company, plus interest and costs, as well as an additional $2,512 each day in interest from October 1, 2007 until the date the award is paid. In July 2008, E-City commenced a proceeding in Mumbai, India seeking an order that the ICC award may not be recognized in India. The Company has opposed that application on a number of grounds and seeks to have the ICC award recognized in India. On June 10, 2013, the Bombay High Court ruled that it has jurisdiction over the proceeding filed by E-City. The Company appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court of India, and on March 10, 2017, the Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court’s judgement and dismissed E-City’s petition. On March 29, 2017, the Company filed an Execution Application in the Bombay High Court seeking to enforce the ICC award against E-City and several related parties. On June 24, 2011, the Company commenced a proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for recognition of the ICC final award. On December 2, 2011, the Ontario Court issued an order recognizing the final award and requiring E-City to pay the Company $30,000 to cover the costs of the application. In January 2013, the Company filed an action in the New York Supreme Court seeking to collect the amount owed to the Company by certain entities and individuals affiliated with E-City. On October 16, 2015, the New York Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition, and the Company is appealing that decision. On July 29, 2014, the Company commenced a separate proceeding to have the Canadian judgment against E-City recognized in New York, and on October 2, 2015, the New York Supreme Court granted IMAX’s request, recognizing the Canadian judgment and entering it as a New York judgment. On November 26, 2014, E-City filed a motion in the Bombay High Court seeking to enjoin IMAX from continuing the New York legal proceedings. On February 2, 2015, the Bombay High Court denied E-City’s request for an injunction. On March 16, 2015, E-City filed an appeal of this Bombay High Court decision. In March 2013, IMAX (Shanghai) Multimedia Technology Co., Ltd. (“IMAX Shanghai”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary in China, received notice from the Shanghai office of the General Administration of Customs (“Customs Authority”) that it had been selected for a customs audit (the “Audit”). In the course of the Audit, the Customs Authority discovered the underpayment by IMAX Shanghai of the freight and insurance portion of the customs duties and taxes applicable to the importation of certain IMAX theater systems during the period from October 2011 through March 2013 of approximately $0.1 million, for which payment was remitted in June 2017. Though IMAX Shanghai’s importation agent accepted responsibility for the error giving rise to the underpayment, the matter has been transferred to the Anti-Smuggling Bureau (the “ASB”) of the Customs Authority for further review. Given that the amount of the underpayment exceeds RMB 200,000 (the applicable ASB threshold), the Company has been advised that the matter may be treated as a criminal rather than as an administrative matter. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, IMAX Shanghai recorded an estimate of $0.3 million in respect of fines that it believes are likely to result from the matter. IMAX Shanghai has been advised that the range of potential penalties is between three and five times the underpayment whether the matter is assessed as criminal or administrative; however, the actual amount of any fines or other penalties remains unknown and the Company cautions that these actual fines or other penalties maybe be greater or less than the amount accrued or the expected range. On November 11, 2013, Giencourt Investments, S.A. (“Giencourt”) initiated arbitration before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in Miami, Florida, based on alleged breaches by the Company of its theater agreement and related license agreement with Giencourt. Giencourt submitted its statement of claim in January 2015, the Company submitted its statement of defense and counterclaim in April 2015 and Giencourt submitted its arbitration reply paper in September 2015. An arbitration hearing for witness testimony was held during the week of December 14, 2015. At the hearing, Giencourt’s expert identified monetary damages of up to approximately $10.4 million, which Giencourt seeks to recover from the Company. The Company has asserted a counterclaim against Giencourt for breach of contract and seeks to recover lost profits in excess of $24.0 million under the agreements. In addition, on December 10, 2015, Giencourt made a motion to the panel seeking to enforce a purported settlement of the matter based on negotiations between Giencourt and the Company. The panel held a final hearing with closing arguments on October 20 and 21, 2016. On February 7, 2017, the panel issued a Partial Final Award (the “Award”), which held that the parties had reached a binding settlement, and therefore the panel did not reach the merits of the dispute. The Company strongly disputes that discussions about a potential resolution of this matter amounted to an enforceable settlement. The Company is currently reviewing the Award and assessing its response and potential next steps, including a potential challenge in Florida court on the grounds that the panel exceeded its jurisdiction. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the amounts that it may owe pursuant to the Award, or the timing of any such payments, and therefore no assurances can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the matter . In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal proceedings or governmental inquiries which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, will not materially affect the Company’s financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee. The Guarantees Topic of the FASB ASC defines a guarantee to be a contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Company to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, shares of its stock or provision of services) to a third party based on (a) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (b) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement or (c) failure of another third party to pay its indebtedness when due. Financial Guarantees The Company has provided no significant financial guarantees to third parties. Product Warranties The Company’s accrual for product warranties, that was recorded as part of accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is less than $0.1 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Director/Officer Indemnifications The Company’s General By-law contains an indemnification of its directors/officers, former directors/officers and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act , against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amounts actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The nature of the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. No amount has been accrued in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , with respect to this indemnity. Other Indemnification Agreements In the normal course of the Company’s operations, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in transactions such as: theater system lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation or servicing of the theater systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Company’s breach or non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification; however, virtually all of the Company’s system lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amounts have been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities. |

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Supplemental Information | 9. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Supplemental Information Selling Expenses The Company defers direct selling costs such as sales commissions and other amounts related to its sale and sales-type lease arrangements until the related revenue is recognized. These costs and direct advertising and marketing, included in costs and expenses applicable to revenues-equipment and product sales, totaled $ 0.8 million and $ 1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — $ 1.0 million and $ 1.7 million, respectively). Film exploitation costs, including advertising and marketing, totaled $ 4.1 million and $ 6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — $ 6.0 million and $ 9.0 million, respectively), and are recorded in costs and expenses applicable to revenues-services as incurred. Commissions are recognized as costs and expenses applicable to revenues-rentals in the month they are earned. These costs totaled $ 0.4 million and $ 0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — $ 0.4 million and $ 0.3 million respectively). Direct advertising and marketing costs for each theater are charged to costs and expenses applicable to revenues-rentals as incurred. These costs totaled an expense of $ 0.4 million and $ 0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — expense of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively). Foreign Exchange Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is a gain of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively ( 2016 — loss of $ 0.4 million and gain of $ 0.1 million, respectively), for net foreign exchange gains/losses related to the translation of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. See note 15(d) for additional information. Collaborative Arrangements Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements In a joint revenue sharing arrangement, the Company receives a portion of a theater’s box office and concession revenues, and in some cases a small upfront or initial payment, in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater operator’s venue. Under joint revenue sharing arrangements, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements are typically non-cancellable for 10 years or longer with renewal provisions. Title to equipment under joint revenue sharing arrangements generally does not transfer to the customer. The Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and extended warranty throughout the term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the theater systems commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the theater systems are delivered back to the Company. The Company has signed joint revenue sharing agreements with 46 exhibitors for a total of 1,077 theater systems, of which 671 theaters were operating as at June 30, 2017 , the terms of which are similar in nature, rights and obligations. The accounting policy for the Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements is disclosed in note 2(m) of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. Amounts attributable to transactions arising between the Company and its customers under joint revenue sharing arrangements are included in Equipment and Product Sales and Rentals revenue and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $ 20.3 million and $ 36.0 million, respectively ( 2016 — $ 23.9 million and $ 47.2 million, respectively). IMAX DMR In an IMAX DMR arrangement, the Company transforms conventional motion pictures into the Company’s large screen format, allowing the release of Hollywood content to the global IMAX theater network. In a typical IMAX DMR film arrangement, the Company receives a percentage, which in recent years has averaged approximately 12.5%, of net box office receipts, defined as gross box office receipts less applicable sales taxes, of any commercial films released in the IMAX theater network outside of Greater China from the applicable film studio for the conversion of the film to the IMAX DMR format and for access to the Company’s premium distribution platform. Within Greater China, the Company receives a lower percentage of box office receipts for certain films. The Company does not typically hold distribution rights or the copyright to these films. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the majority of IMAX DMR revenue was earned from the exhibition of 33 IMAX DMR films ( 2016 – 27 ) throughout the IMAX theater network. The accounting policy for the Company’s IMAX DMR arrangements is disclosed in note 2(m) of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. Amounts attributable to transactions arising between the Company and its customers under IMAX DMR arrangements are included in Services revenue and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $ 27.8 million and $ 51.2 million, respectively ( 2016 — $ 27.4 million and $ 57.2 million, respectively). Co-Produced Film Arrangements In certain film arrangements, the Company co-produces a film with a third party whereby the third party retains the copyright and rights to the film and the Company obtains exclusive theatrical distribution rights to the film. Under these arrangements, both parties contribute funding to the Company’s wholly-owned production company for the production of the film and for associated exploitation costs. Clauses in the film arrangements generally provide for the third party to take over the production of the film if the cost of the production exceeds its approved budget or if it appears as though the film will not be delivered on a timely basis. The accounting policies relating to co-produced film arrangements are disclosed in notes 2(a) and 2(m) of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. As at June 30, 2017 , the Company has one significant co-produced film arrangement which represents the VIE total assets and liabilities balance of $ 0.4 million and four other co-produced film arrangements, the terms of which are similar. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , amounts totaling $ 0.2 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively ( 2016 — $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively) attributable to transactions between the Company and other parties involved in the production of the films have been included in cost and expenses applicable to revenues-services. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 11. Income Taxes Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and varies from year to year primarily as a result of permanent differences, investment and other tax credits, the provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions, enacted statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the year, changes due to foreign exchange, changes in the Company’s valuation allowance based on the Company’s recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets, and favorable or unfavorable resolution of various tax examinations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017 , there was no change in the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on an analysis of both positive and negative evidence including projected future earnings. As at June 30, 2017 , the Company had net deferred income tax assets after valuation allowance of $ 31.5 million (December 31, 2016 — $ 20.8 million), which consists of a gross deferred income tax asset of $ 31.7 million (December 31, 2016 — $ 21.0 million), against which the Company is carrying a $ 0.2 million valuation allowance (December 31, 2016 — $ 0.2 million). For the quarter ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded a recovery for income taxes of $0.2 million. Included in the recovery for income taxes was a $0.2 million recovery for windfall tax benefits, offset by a less than $0.1 million provision related to other items. The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2016-16 related to income taxes during the first quarter of 2017. The impact from the adoption was reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on a modified retrospective basis resulting in an increase to Accumulated deficit of $8.3 million, a decrease to Other assets of $14.8 million, an increase to Deferred taxes of $7.9 million and an increase to Accrued and other liabilities of $1.4 million. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09, related to stock-based compensation, in June 2016. ASU 2016-09 eliminates additional paid in capital ("APIC") pools and requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, modified retrospective adoption of ASC 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before they can be recognized. The Company has recorded an adjustment of $0.9 million to Deferred income taxes related to the impact from adoption of the provisions related to forfeiture rates. See note 12 for further discussion of the impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Cash held outside of North America as at June 30, 2017 was $126.1 million (December 31, 2016 — $117.4 million), of which $38.1 million was held in the PRC (December 31, 2016 — $31.5 million). The Company's intent is to permanently reinvest these amounts outside of Canada and the Company does not currently anticipate that it will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund North American operations. In the event funds from foreign operations are needed to fund operations in North America and if withholding taxes have not already been previously provided, the Company would be required to accrue and pay these additional withholding tax amounts on repatriation of funds from China to Canada. The Company currently estimates this amount to be $5.8 million. Income Tax Effect on Other Comprehensive Income The income tax expense included in the Company’s other comprehensive income are related to the following items: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Unrealized change in cash flow hedging instruments $ 26 $ 13 $ (56) $ (561) Realized change in cash flow hedging instruments upon settlement (201) (186) (276) (518) Amortization of actuarial loss on postretirement benefit plan - (5) - (10) $ (175) $ (178) $ (332) $ (1,089) |

Capital Stock | 12. Capital Stock Stock-Based Compensation Compensation costs recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans were $ 6.9 million and $ 12.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — $ 6.2 million and $ 14.7 million, respectively). The following reflects the stock-based compensation expense recorded to the respective financial statement line items in the following respective periods: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2017 Cost and expenses applicable to revenues $ 382 $ 740 Selling, general and administrative expenses 6,236 10,998 Research and development 171 315 Restructuring charges and associated impairments 73 73 $ 6,862 $ 12,126 As at June 30, 2017 , the Company has reserved a total of 11,080,860 (December 31, 2016 — 12,012,572 ) common shares for future issuance under the Company’s Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) and the IMAX Corporation Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (“IMAX LTIP”). Of the common shares reserved for issuance, there are options in respect of 5,148,626 common shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”) in respect of 1,243,033 common shares outstanding at June 30, 2017 . At June 30, 2017 , options in respect of 3,895,973 common shares were vested and exercisable. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09, related to stock-based compensation, in June 2016. ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement to estimate and apply a forfeiture rate to reduce stock compensation expense during the vesting period and, instead, account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 also requires the presentation of employee taxes as a financing activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Where applicable, comparative figures have been restated as if the adoption of ASU 2016-09 occurred on January 1, 2016. Stock Option Plan The Company recorded an expense of $ 1.0 million and $ 2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — expense of $ 1.0 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively) related to stock option grants issued to employees and directors in the IMAX LTIP and SOP plans. An income tax benefit is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — $ 0.3 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively), for these costs. The weighted average fair value of all stock options granted to employees and directors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 at the grant date was $nil and $ 9.07 per share, respectively ( 2016 — $ 8.03 and $ 8.23 per share, respectively). The following assumptions were used to estimate the average fair value of the stock options: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Average risk-free interest rate n/a 1.72% 2.40% 1.72% Expected option life (in years) n/a 4.79 - 5.24 4.71 - 5.83 4.79 - 5.24 Expected volatility n/a 30% 30% 30% Dividend yield n/a 0% 0% 0% Stock options to Non-Employees There were no common share options issued to non-employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. As at June 30, 2017 , non-employee stock options outstanding amounted to 17,000 stock options ( 2016 — 38,750 ) with a weighted average exercise price of $ 29.64 per share ( 2016 — $ 26.79 per share ). 17,000 stock options ( 2016 — 26,950 ) were exercisable with an average weighted exercise price of $ 29.64 per share ( 2016 — $ 26.97 per share ) and the vested stock options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $nil ( 2016 — $ 0.1 million). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded an expense of $nil and less than $0.1 million, respectively ( 2016 — expense of less than $0.1 million and recovery less than $0.1 million, respectively) to selling, general and administrative expenses related to the non-employee stock options. There were no liabilities accrued for non-employee stock options as at June 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016 — less than $0.1 million). China Long Term Incentive Plan (“China LTIP”) The China LTIP was adopted by IMAX China Holding, Inc. (“IMAX China”), a subsidiary of the Company, in October 2012. Each stock option (“China Option”), RSU or cash settled share-based payment (“CSSBP”) issued under the China LTIP represents an opportunity to participate economically in the future growth and value creation of IMAX China. In connection with the IMAX China IPO and in accordance with the China LTIP, IMAX China adopted a post-IPO share option plan and a post-IPO restricted stock unit plan. Pursuant to these plans, IMAX China issued additional China Options and China LTIP Restricted Share Units (“China RSUs”) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded an expense related to the China Options, China RSUs and CSSBPs of $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively (2016 — $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively). During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded an expense related to the China Options, China RSUs and CSSBPs of $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively (2016 — $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively). The liability recognized with respect to the CSSBPs as at June 30, 2017 was $0.4 million (December 31, 2016 — $0.3 million).

The grant date fair value of each RSU is equal to the share price of the Company’s stock at the grant date. The Company recorded an expense of $ 5.2 million and $ 8.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively ( 2016 — expense of $ 4.5 million and $ 7.7 million, respectively), related to RSU grants issued to employees and directors in the plan. The Company did not issue any RSU grants to certain advisors and strategic partners of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 .

Common shares settled through the open market purchases by the IMAX LTIP trustee were 49,055 and 239,139 respectively ( 2016 — 30,585 and 211,812, respectively). Total stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs not yet recognized at June 30, 2017 and the weighted average period over which the awards are expected to be recognized is $ 32.2 million and 2.4 years, respectively ( 2016 — $ 28.6 million and 2.6 years, respectively).

Historically, RSUs granted under the IMAX LTIP have vested between immediately and four years from the grant date. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the IMAX LTIP at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders on June 6, 2016, the IMAX LTIP plan was amended to impose a minimum one-year vesting period on future RSU grants, with a carve-out for 300,000 RSUs that may vest on a shorter schedule. In the second quarter of 2017, 46,613 RSUs (2016 – 39,726 RSUs) with a vesting period of less than one year were issued from the remaining carve-out balance of 260,274 RSUs leaving a balance of 213,661 RSUs at June 30, 2017.

The retired shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, were repurchased for $46.1 million (2016 – $41.1 million and $85.7 million, respectively). The average carrying value of the stock retired was deducted from common stock and the remaining excess over the average carrying value of stock was charged to accumulated deficit. On June 12, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $200.0 million share repurchase program for shares of the Company’s common stock. The share repurchase program expires on June 30, 2020.

The shares held with the trustee are recorded at cost and are reported as a reduction against capital stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Canadian Securities Law Matters The Company has received an exemption decision issued by the Ontario Securities Commission, dated April 1, 2016, for relief from the formal issuer bid requirements under Canadian securities laws. The exemption decision permits the Company to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares in any twelve-month period through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under repurchase programs that the Company may implement from time to time. The Canadian securities laws regulate an issuer’s ability to make repurchases of its own securities. The Company sought the exemption so that it can make repurchases under its repurchase programs in excess of the maximum allowable in reliance on the existing “other published markets” exemption from the formal issuer bid requirements available under Canadian securities laws. The “other published markets” exemption caps the Company’s ability to repurchase its securities through the facilities of the NYSE at 5% of the issuer’s outstanding securities during any 12-month period. The conditions of the exemption decision are as follows: (i) any repurchases made in reliance on the exemption decision must be permitted under, and part of repurchase programs established and conducted in accordance with, U.S. securities laws and NYSE rules, (ii) the aggregate number of common shares acquired in reliance on the exemption decision by the Company and any person or company acting jointly or in concert with the Company within any 12 months does not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares at the beginning of the 12-month period, (iii) the common shares are not listed and posted for trading on an exchange in Canada, (iv) the exemption decision applies only to the acquisition of common shares by the Company within 36 months of the date of the decision, and (v) prior to purchasing common shares in reliance on the exemption decision, the Company discloses the terms of the exemption decision and the conditions applicable thereto in a press release that is issued on SEDAR and includes such language as part of the news release required to be issued in accordance with the “other published markets exemption” in respect of any repurchase program that may be implemented by the Company.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes 2,652,438 and 2,712,666 shares, respectively that are issuable upon the vesting of 290,303 and 271,664 RSUs, respectively and the exercise of 2,362,135 and 2,441,002 stock options, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , as the impact would be antidilutive. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefit is no longer included in the calculation of diluted shares under the treasury stock method.

Segmented Information [Abstract] | |
Segmented Information | 13. Segmented Information Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (as defined in the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC), assesses segment performance based on segment revenues, gross margins and film performance. Selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, amortization of intangibles, receivables provisions (recoveries), write-downs net of recoveries, interest income, interest expense and tax (provision) recovery are not allocated to the segments. In the first quarter of 2017, modifications were made to the CEO’s reporting package to move away from the Company’s historical two primary groups – IMAX Theater Systems and Film – and to better align with the way in which the CODM manages the business. The new structure is expected to assist users of the financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how management views the business, and the drivers behind the Company’s performance. C ertain of the prior period’s figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company has identified new business as an additional reportable segment in the first quarter of 2017. The Company now has the following eight reportable segments: IMAX systems; IMAX DMR; joint revenue sharing arrangements; theater system maintenance; film distribution; film post-production; new business; and other. The Company’s reportable segments are now organized under four primary groups identified by nature of product sold or service provided: (1) Network Business, representing variable revenue generated by box office results and which includes the reportable segment of IMAX DMR and contingent rent from the joint revenue sharing arrangements and IMAX systems segments; (2) Theater Business, representing revenue generated by the sale and installation of theater systems and maintenance services, primarily related to the IMAX Systems and Theater System Maintenance reportable segments, and also includes fixed hybrid revenues and upfront installation costs from the joint revenue sharing arrangements segment and after-market sales of projection system parts and 3D glasses from the other segment; (3) New Business, which includes content licensing and distribution fees associated with the Company’s original content investments, virtual reality initiatives, IMAX Home Entertainment, and other business initiatives that are in the development and/or start-up phase, and (4) Other; which includes the film post-production and distribution segments and certain IMAX theaters that the Company owns and operates, camera rentals and other miscellaneous items from the other segment. The Company is presenting information at a disaggregated level to provide more relevant information to readers, as permitted by the standard. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Item 2 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the four primary groups mentioned above.

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | 15. Financial Instruments Financial Instruments The Company maintains cash with various major financial institutions. The Company’s cash is invested with highly rated financial institutions. The Company’s accounts receivables and financing receivables are subject to credit risk. The Company’s accounts receivable and financing receivables are concentrated with the theater exhibition industry and film entertainment industry. To minimize the Company’s credit risk, the Company retains title to underlying theater systems leased, performs initial and ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and makes ongoing provisions for its estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company believes it has adequately provided for related exposures surrounding receivables and contractual commitments. Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities due within one year approximate fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments are comprised of the following: As at June 30, 2017 As at December 31, 2016 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 158,244 $ 158,244 $ 204,759 $ 204,759 Net financed sales receivable $ 112,902 $ 112,433 $ 114,041 $ 115,014 Net investment in sales-type leases $ 6,377 $ 6,395 $ 8,084 $ 8,372 Convertible loan receivable $ 1,500 $ 1,500 $ 1,000 $ 1,000 Available-for-sale investment $ 1,000 $ 1,014 $ 1,000 $ 1,007 Foreign exchange contracts — designated forwards $ 973 $ 973 $ (296) $ (296) Borrowings under the Playa Vista Loan $ (26,667) $ (26,667) $ (27,667) $ (27,667) Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value (Level 1 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The estimated fair values of the net financed sales receivable and net investment in sales-type leases are estimated based on discounting future cash flows at currently available interest rates with comparable terms (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible loan receivable is based on discounting future cash flows at currently available interest rates with comparable terms (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale investment is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of foreign currency derivatives is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. These identical instruments are traded on a closed exchange. The carrying value of borrowings under the Playa Vista Loan approximates fair value as the interest rates offered under the Playa Vista Loan are close to June 30, 2017 market rates for the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 . There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 . When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. There were no transfers in or out of the Company’s level 3 assets during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Financing Receivables The Company’s net investment in leases and its net financed sale receivables are subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 310 “Receivables”. Due to differing risk profiles of its net investment in leases and its net financed sales receivables, the Company views its net investment in leases and its net financed sale receivables as separate classes of financing receivables. The Company does not aggregate financing receivables to assess impairment. The Company monitors the credit quality of each customer on a frequent basis through collections and aging analyses. The Company also holds meetings monthly in order to identify credit concerns and whether a change in credit quality classification is required for the customer. A customer may improve in their credit quality classification once a substantial payment is made on overdue balances or the customer has agreed to a payment plan with the Company and payments have commenced in accordance to the payment plan. The change in credit quality indicator is dependent upon management approval. The Company classifies its customers into four categories to indicate the credit quality worthiness of its financing receivables for internal purposes only: Good standing — Theater continues to be in good standing with the Company as the client’s payments and reporting are up-to-date. Credit Watch — Theater operator has begun to demonstrate a delay in payments, and has been placed on the Company's credit watch list for continued monitoring, but active communication continues with the Company. Depending on the size of outstanding balance, length of time in arrears and other factors, transactions may need to be approved by management. These financing receivables are considered to be in better condition than those receivables related to theaters in the "Pre-approved transactions" category, but not in as good of condition as those receivables in "Good standing." Pre-approved transactions only — Theater operator is demonstrating a delay in payments with little or no communication with the Company. All service or shipments to the theater must be reviewed and approved by management. These financing receivables are considered to be in better condition than those receivables related to theaters in the "All transactions suspended" category, but not in as good of condition as those receivables in "Credit Watch." Depending on the individual facts and circumstances of each customer, finance income recognition may be suspended if management believes the receivable to be impaired. All transactions suspended — Theater is severely delinquent, non-responsive or not negotiating in good faith with the Company. Once a theater is classified as “All transactions suspended” the theater is placed on nonaccrual status and all revenue recognitions related to the theater are stopped. The following table discloses the recorded investment in financing receivables by credit quality indicator: As at June 30, 2017 As at December 31, 2016 Minimum Financed Minimum Financed Lease Sales Lease Sales Payments Receivables Total Payments Receivables Total In good standing $ 5,987 $ 110,855 $ 116,842 $ 7,741 $ 111,568 $ 119,309 Credit Watch - 1,402 1,402 - 1,514 1,514 Pre-approved transactions 567 645 1,212 - 842 842 Transactions suspended 144 427 571 1,015 611 1,626 $ 6,698 $ 113,329 $ 120,027 $ 8,756 $ 114,535 $ 123,291 While recognition of finance income is suspended, payments received by a customer are applied against the outstanding balance owed. If payments are sufficient to cover any unreserved receivables, a recovery of provision taken on the billed amount, if applicable, is recorded to the extent of the residual cash received. Once the collectibility issues are resolved and the customer has returned to being in good standing, the Company will resume recognition of finance income. The Company’s investment in financing receivables on nonaccrual status is as follows: As at June 30, 2017 As at December 31, 2016 Recorded Related Recorded Related Investment Allowance Investment Allowance Net investment in leases $ 144 $ (144) $ 1,015 $ (672) Net financed sales receivables 427 (427) 611 (494) Total $ 571 $ (571) $ 1,626 $ (1,166) The Company considers financing receivables with aging between 60-89 days as indications of theaters with potential collection concerns. The Company will begin to focus its review on these financing receivables and increase its discussions internally and with the theater regarding payment status. Once a theater’s aging exceeds 90 days, the Company’s policy is to review and assess collectibility on the theater’s past due accounts. Over 90 days past due is used by the Company as an indicator of potential impairment as invoices up to 90 days outstanding could be considered reasonable due to the time required for dispute resolution or for the provision of further information or supporting documentation to the customer. The Company’s aged financing receivables are as follows: As at June 30, 2017 Related Recorded Accrued Billed Unbilled Total Investment and 30-89 Financing Recorded Recorded Related Net of Current Days 90+ Days Receivables Investment Investment Allowances Allowances Net investment in leases $ 45 $ 121 $ 281 $ 447 $ 6,251 $ 6,698 $ (321) $ 6,377 Net financed sales receivables 1,973 1,416 2,645 6,034 107,295 113,329 (427) 112,902 Total $ 2,018 $ 1,537 $ 2,926 $ 6,481 $ 113,546 $ 120,027 $ (748) $ 119,279 As at December 31, 2016 Related Recorded Accrued Billed Unbilled Total Investment and 30-89 Financing Recorded Recorded Related Net of Current Days 90+ Days Receivables Investment Investment Allowances Allowances Net investment in leases $ 28 $ 159 $ 781 $ 968 $ 7,788 $ 8,756 $ (672) $ 8,084 Net financed sales receivables 2,393 1,724 2,368 6,485 108,050 114,535 (494) 114,041 Total $ 2,421 $ 1,883 $ 3,149 $ 7,453 $ 115,838 $ 123,291 $ (1,166) $ 122,125 The Company’s recorded investment in past due financing receivables for which the Company continues to accrue finance income is as follows: As at June 30, 2017 Related Recorded Accrued Billed Unbilled Investment and Financing Recorded Related Past Due Current 30-89 Days 90+ Days Receivables Investment Allowance and Accruing Net investment in leases $ 17 $ 34 $ 269 $ 320 $ 857 $ - $ 1,177 Net financed sales receivables 505 443 2,378 3,326 19,861 - 23,187 Total $ 522 $ 477 $ 2,647 $ 3,646 $ 20,718 $ - $ 24,364 As at December 31, 2016 Related Recorded Accrued Billed Unbilled Investment and Financing Recorded Related Past Due Current 30-89 Days 90+ Days Receivables Investment Allowance and Accruing Net investment in leases $ - $ 54 $ 244 $ 298 $ 1,646 $ - $ 1,944 Net financed sales receivables 284 634 1,854 2,772 20,147 - 22,919 Total $ 284 $ 688 $ 2,098 $ 3,070 $ 21,793 $ - $ 24,863 The Company considers financing receivables to be impaired when it believes it to be probable that it will not recover the full amount of principal or interest owing under the arrangement. The Company uses its knowledge of the industry and economic trends, as well as its prior experiences to determine the amount recoverable for impaired financing receivables. The following table discloses information regarding the Company’s impaired financing receivables: For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Average Interest Recorded Unpaid Related Recorded Income Investment Principal Allowance Investment Recognized Recorded investment for which there is a related allowance: Net financed sales receivables $ 427 $ - $ (427) $ 463 $ - Recorded investment for which there is no related allowance: Net financed sales receivables - - - - - Total recorded investment in impaired loans: Net financed sales receivables $ 427 $ - $ (427) $ 463 $ - For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Average Interest Recorded Unpaid Related Recorded Income Investment Principal Allowance Investment Recognized Recorded investment for which there is a related allowance: Net financed sales receivables $ 748 $ 269 $ (643) $ 748 $ - Recorded investment for which there is no related allowance: Net financed sales receivables - - - - - Total recorded investment in impaired loans: Net financed sales receivables $ 748 $ 269 $ (643) $ 748 $ - For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Average Interest Recorded Unpaid Related Recorded Income Investment Principal Allowance Investment Recognized Recorded investment for which there is a related allowance: Net financed sales receivables $ 427 $ - $ (427) $ 494 $ - Recorded investment for which there is no related allowance: Net financed sales receivables - - - - - Total recorded investment in impaired loans: Net financed sales receivables $ 427 $ - $ (427) $ 494 $ - For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Average Interest Recorded Unpaid Related Recorded Income Investment Principal Allowance Investment Recognized Recorded investment for which there is a related allowance: Net financed sales receivables $ 748 $ 269 $ (643) $ 748 $ - Recorded investment for which there is no related allowance: Net financed sales receivables - - - - - Total recorded investment in impaired loans: Net financed sales receivables $ 748 $ 269 $ (643) $ 748 $ - The Company’s activity in the allowance for credit losses for the period and the Company’s recorded investment in financing receivables are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Net Investment Net Financed Net Investment Net Financed in Leases Sales Receivables in Leases Sales Receivables Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 672 $ 494 $ 672 $ 494 Charge-offs (351) (67) (351) (67) Recoveries - - - - Provision - - - - Ending balance $ 321 $ 427 $ 321 $ 427 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 321 $ 427 $ 321 $ 427 Financing receivables: Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 6,698 $ 113,329 $ 6,698 $ 113,329 Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Net Investment Net Financed Net Investment Net Financed in Leases Sales Receivables in Leases Sales Receivables Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 672 $ 643 $ 672 $ 568 Charge-offs - - - - Recoveries - - - - Provision - - - 75 Ending balance $ 672 $ 643 $ 672 $ 643 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 672 $ 643 $ 672 $ 643 Financing receivables: Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ 9,697 $ 110,502 $ 9,697 $ 110,502 Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. A majority portion of the Company’s revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar cash flows of the Company is periodically converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot market. In China and Japan the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations in Chinese Renminbi and Japanese yen, respectively. Net cash flows are converted to and from U.S. dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in Chinese Renminbi, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars and Euros which are converted to U.S. dollars through the spot market. In addition, because IMAX films generate box office in 75 different countries, unfavourable exchange rates between applicable local currencies, and the U.S. dollar affect the Company’s reported gross box-office and revenues, further impacting the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s policy is to not use any financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to manage the Company’s risks associated with the volatility of foreign currencies. Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts met the criteria required for hedge accounting under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC at inception, and continue to meet hedge effectiveness tests at June 30, 2017 (the “Foreign Currency Hedges”), with settlement dates throughout 2017 and 2018 . Foreign currency derivatives are recognized and measured in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value (gains or losses) are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations except for derivatives designated and qualifying as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments. For foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss in a hedge of a forecasted transaction is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the forecasted transaction occurs.

Restructuring And Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 17. Restucturing charges and associated impairments Restructuring charges In June 2017, the Company announced the implementation of a cost reduction plan with the goal of increasing profitability, operating leverage and free cash flow. The cost reduction plan included the exit from certain non-core businesses or initiatives, as well as a one-time reduction in workforce. Restructuring charges are comprised of employee severance costs inluding benefits and stock-based compensation, costs of consolidating facilities and contract termination costs. Restructuring charges are based upon plans that have been committed to by the Company, but may be refined in subsequent periods. These charges are recognized pursuant to FASB ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations”. A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized and measured at its fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the liability is incurred. When estimating the value of facility restructuring activities, assumptions are applied regarding estimated sub-lease payments to be received, which can differ from actual results. In connection with the Company’s restructuring initiatives, the Company incurred $4.7 million in restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. A summary of the restructuring and other costs by reporting groups identified by nature of product sold, or service provided as disclosed in note 13 recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, are as follows: Employee Severance and Benefits Other Exit Costs Total IMAX DMR $ 548 $ - $ 548 Joint revenue sharing arrangements 59 - 59 IMAX systems 218 222 440 Theater system maintenance 738 - 738 New business 105 298 403 Film post-production 19 - 19 Other 556 - 556 Corporate 1,917 25 1,942 $ 4,160 $ 545 $ 4,705 The Company expects to incur restructuring charges of $3.2 million during the remainder of 2017.

Basis of Presentation and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Supplemental Information [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | All intercompany accounts and transactions, including all unrealized intercompany profits on transactions with equity-accounted investees, have been eliminated. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“the 2016 Form 10-K”) which should be consulted for a summary of the significant accounting policies utilized by the Company. These interim financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 , except as noted below. Certain prior period information has been revised to reflect the current period information. |
Variable interest entities | The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which the Company has identified as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs as required by the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”). The Company has nine film production companies that are VIEs. For four of the Company’s film production companies, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities as the Company has the power to direct the activities of the respective VIE that most significantly impact the respective VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the respective VIE or the right to receive benefits from the respective VIE that could potentially be significant to the respective VIE. The majority of these consolidated assets are held by the IMAX Original Film Fund (the “Film Fund”) as described in note 16(b). For the other five film production companies which are VIEs, the Company did not consolidate these film entities since it does not have the power to direct activities and does not absorb the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns. The Company equity accounts for these entities. A loss in value of an investment other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to the condensed consolidated statements of operations |
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted | 2. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes Adoption of New Accounting Policies The Company adopted the following standards on January 1, 2017, which are effective for annual periods ending after December 31, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). The purpose of the amendment is to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards. Under the ASU inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The clarifications are not intended to result in any changes in practice and to reduce the complexity in guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. This standard only applies to inventory being measured using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods of accounting for inventory. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships” (“ASU 2016-05”). The amendments in ASU 2016-05 apply to all reporting entities for which there is a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under Topic 815. The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria (including those in paragraphs 815-20-35-14 through 35-18) continue to be met. The adoption of this ASU 2016-05 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” (“ASU 2016-07”). The purpose of the amendment is to eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. The purpose of ASU 2016-16 is to eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments require the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-16 during the first quarter of 2017. The impact from the adoption was reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on a modified retrospective basis resulting in an increase to Accumulated deficit of $8.3 million, a decrease to Other assets of $14.8 million, an increase to Deferred taxes of $7.9 million and an increase to Accrued and other liabilities of $1.4 million. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”. The purpose of ASU 2016-17 is to update the requirement of the reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not have an impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standard Codification Updates In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The purpose of the amendment is to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. New disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements to provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current guidance, however ASU 2016-02 will provide improvements that are intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee model and with updated revenue recognition guidance. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. As a lessor, the Company has a significant portion of its revenue derived from leases, including its joint revenue sharing arrangements, and while the lessor accounting model is not fundamentally different, the Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on this revenue stream. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”). The purpose of ASU 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). The purpose of ASU 2016-10 is to provide more detailed guidance in the following key areas: identifying performance obligations and licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, to rescind from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification certain SEC paragraphs as a result of two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 meeting. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”). The purpose of ASU 2016-12 is to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectibility criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical corrections. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2016-20 represent changes to clarify the accounting standard codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification that are related to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For public companies, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, which are all related to Topic 606, are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an analysis of its contracts to determine those in scope of the standard, has performed detailed analyses of those contracts and identified its performance obligations. At this time, the Company does not believe its future distinct performance obligations will be significantly different from its current deliverables, including its existing system deliverable. The Company has also determined that its revenues from the Digital Re-mastering (“DMR”) of films, theater system hybrid sales and sales contracts will be impacted to varying degrees by the inclusion of variable consideration in the calculation of contract consideration. Revenues from film distribution are expected to use the sales-based royalty model of revenue recognition and as a result, the Company does not expect a significant difference from the current revenue recognition methodology. Revenue recognition practices for aftermarket sales, new business and owned and operated theaters are not expected to change. The Company anticipates that DMR revenues will accelerate from the period in which the gross box office is earned to the period in which the film is released to the IMAX theater network. Hybrid sales revenues will increase by an estimated amount of variable consideration earned from gross box office over the term of the arrangement, appropriately constrained on account of the extent of time until resolution of the contingency. Sales contract consideration will also increase by a component of variable consideration for consumer price index increases and gross box office returns, though the Company does not expect the number to be significant to any one contract. The Company currently intends to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method and continues to make significant progress in gathering historical information on its contracts in preparation applying the opening adjustment and for preparing the standard’s expanded disclosure requirements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The purpose of ASU 2016-13 is to require a financial asset measured on the amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-01 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The purpose of the amendment is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). The amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and other components of the net periodic benefit cost be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-07 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or condition of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment awards, ASU 2017-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued FASB accounting standard codification updates. Accounting standards updates that are not noted above were assessed and determined to be not applicable or not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2017 . |

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). The amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and other components of the net periodic benefit cost be presented separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-07 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or condition of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment awards, ASU 2017-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued FASB accounting standard codification updates. Accounting standards updates that are not noted above were assessed and determined to be not applicable or not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2017 |
Commitments and Contingencies Policy | The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company will make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to the claims at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case. Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Company’s determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such a change in determination, settlement or judgment occurs. |
Legal Costs Policy | The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred. |
Commissions Expense Policy | The Company defers direct selling costs such as sales commissions and other amounts related to its sale and sales-type lease arrangements until the related revenue is recognized. |
Collaborative Arrangements Policy | In a joint revenue sharing arrangement, the Company receives a portion of a theater’s box office and concession revenues, and in some cases a small upfront or initial payment, in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater operator’s venue. Under joint revenue sharing arrangements, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements are typically non-cancellable for 10 years or longer with renewal provisions. Title to equipment under joint revenue sharing arrangements generally does not transfer to the customer. The Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and extended warranty throughout the term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the theater systems commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the theater systems are delivered back to the Company. |
Film Costs Policy | In a typical IMAX DMR film arrangement, the Company receives a percentage, which in recent years has averaged approximately 12.5%, of net box office receipts, defined as gross box office receipts less applicable sales taxes, of any commercial films released in the IMAX theater network outside of Greater China from the applicable film studio for the conversion of the film to the IMAX DMR format and for access to the Company’s premium distribution platform. Within Greater China, the Company receives a lower percentage of box office receipts for certain films. The Company does not typically hold distribution rights or the copyright to these films. |
Revenue Recognition Leases | The accounting policy for the Company’s joint revenue sharing arrangements is disclosed in note 2(m) of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Policy | Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value (Level 1 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The estimated fair values of the net financed sales receivable and net investment in sales-type leases are estimated based on discounting future cash flows at currently available interest rates with comparable terms (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible loan receivable is based on discounting future cash flows at currently available interest rates with comparable terms (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale investment is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of foreign currency derivatives is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. These identical instruments are traded on a closed exchange. The carrying value of borrowings under the Playa Vista Loan approximates fair value as the interest rates offered under the Playa Vista Loan are close to June 30, 2017 market rates for the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2 input in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC hierarchy) as at June 30, 2017 . |
Fair Value Transfer Policy | There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 . When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. |
Credit Risk Policy | The Company classifies its customers into four categories to indicate the credit quality worthiness of its financing receivables for internal purposes only: Good standing — Theater continues to be in good standing with the Company as the client’s payments and reporting are up-to-date. Credit Watch — Theater operator has begun to demonstrate a delay in payments, and has been placed on the Company's credit watch list for continued monitoring, but active communication continues with the Company. Depending on the size of outstanding balance, length of time in arrears and other factors, transactions may need to be approved by management. These financing receivables are considered to be in better condition than those receivables related to theaters in the "Pre-approved transactions" category, but not in as good of condition as those receivables in "Good standing." Pre-approved transactions only — Theater operator is demonstrating a delay in payments with little or no communication with the Company. All service or shipments to the theater must be reviewed and approved by management. These financing receivables are considered to be in better condition than those receivables related to theaters in the "All transactions suspended" category, but not in as good of condition as those receivables in "Credit Watch." Depending on the individual facts and circumstances of each customer, finance income recognition may be suspended if management believes the receivable to be impaired. All transactions suspended — Theater is severely delinquent, non-responsive or not negotiating in good faith with the Company. Once a theater is classified as “All transactions suspended” the theater is placed on nonaccrual status and all revenue recognitions related to the theater are stopped. |
Condition for Company's policy to review and assess collectability on theater's past due accounts | The Company considers financing receivables to be impaired when it believes it to be probable that it will not recover the full amount of principal or interest owing under the arrangement. The Company uses its knowledge of the industry and economic trends, as well as its prior experiences to determine the amount recoverable for impaired financing receivables. |
Derivatives policy | The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. A majority portion of the Company’s revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar cash flows of the Company is periodically converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot market. In China and Japan the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations in Chinese Renminbi and Japanese yen, respectively. Net cash flows are converted to and from U.S. dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in Chinese Renminbi, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars and Euros which are converted to U.S. dollars through the spot market. In addition, because IMAX films generate box office in 75 different countries, unfavourable exchange rates between applicable local currencies, and the U.S. dollar affect the Company’s reported gross box-office and revenues, further impacting the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s policy is to not use any financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to manage the Company’s risks associated with the volatility of foreign currencies. Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts met the criteria required for hedge accounting under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC at inception, and continue to meet hedge effectiveness tests at June 30, 2017 (the “Foreign Currency Hedges”), with settlement dates throughout 2017 and 2018 . Foreign currency derivatives are recognized and measured in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value (gains or losses) are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations except for derivatives designated and qualifying as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments. For foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss in a hedge of a forecasted transaction is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently does not hold any derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments |
ASU 2010-20 | The Company considers financing receivables with aging between 60-89 days as indications of theaters with potential collection concerns. The Company will begin to focus its review on these financing receivables and increase its discussions internally and with the theater regarding payment status. Once a theater’s aging exceeds 90 days, the Company’s policy is to review and assess collectibility on the theater’s past due accounts. Over 90 days past due is used by the Company as an indicator of potential impairment as invoices up to 90 days outstanding could be considered reasonable due to the time required for dispute resolution or for the provision of further information or supporting documentation to the customer. |
Costs Associated With Exit Or Disposal Activities Or Restructurings Policy | Restructuring charges are based upon plans that have been committed to by the Company, but may be refined in subsequent periods. These charges are recognized pursuant to FASB ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations”. A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized and measured at its fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the liability is incurred. |
