Correction for the size of an IMAX screen

Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How big is 552 square yards?
It's about one-and-three-tenths times as big as an IMAX screen
The size of an IMAX screen is about 423.60 square yards.
(standard)
An IMAX movie theater screen measures 22 m (72 ft) by 16 m (52 ft) for a total area of 423.60 square yards. 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).
