It's about 500,000,000 times as big as an IMAX screen
The size of an IMAX screen is about 0.03542 hectares.
(standard)
An IMAX movie theater screen measures 22 m (72 ft) by 16 m (52 ft) for a total area of 0.03542 hectares. Because the film used in an IMAX movie is more than eight times larger than regular film, the platters of a two-and-a-half hour feature film can weigh up to 250 kg (550 lbs).
