Yep, and it's great! I have a ticket for Batman on IMAX @ Navy Pier and you pick you're seat when you purchase the ticket online. I'm about 2/3 of the way back from the front row, smack in the very middle. I won't have to hassle with standing in line like the reg. theatres before the show just so I can scurry to get a good spot.
It's really pretty genius idea for big movies so you still reward those that get their tickets 1st. Less hyped movies would suffer b/c people would avoid shows they got bad tickets and theatres would prefer to have sellouts sooner as opposed to people only filling 80's of the theatre and skipping the bad seats. Not to mention the longer a movie is released, a good number of tickets might not be sold b/c people that would have gone earlier hear bad word of mouth and opt to catch it on DVD.
