Why doesn't Entergy Imax show real movies?

Always wondered this. I saw 300 there in high school, but that's the only movie I can ever remember being there. Anyone know why they don't show any?

Site says it is closed until October 15th and that they are upgrading the theater,
Maybe they will start.

If I remember correctly, I think they said it was a cost thing. The cost to get the print would force them to focus primarily on that film and push the educational films off.
They said why a few years ago somewhere when a popular movie came out. Just can't remember or find it now.
Edit: It appears that IMAX brand restricted the amount of mainstream movies that could be shown.

Purists will surely lament the loss of the 70 mm projection system, a dying format that many consider to be the gold standard of movie display, but some might consider it an acceptable tradeoff if it means ditching the IMAX brand, which restricts the kinds of movies that can be shown in its facilities.

Interstellar was shown there pretty regularly last year. I saw it, it was stellar.
ETA: a significant portion of Interstellar was filmed in 70mm film, something Nolan relishes, to specifically be shown in full IMAX, which is much larger (I.e. "Taller") than the "Lie-max" screens at theatres such as AMC. These are IMAX Digital screens, not true IMAX.

Any idea about the screen size?

Not to say IMAX has NO restrictions but I know for a fact many of the big blockbuster movies are available at other IMAX facilities.
