''Scooby-Doo! The Movie'' is officially an IMAX monster. The film is scheduled to break a new record for widest release in IMAX theaters for an animated film yet.

As the film is to open in an estimated 4,000 theaters, it is set to play in 233 IMAX throughout the United States, again breaking an IMAX record previously held by Shrek Forever After with 194 IMAX screens. However, it is the second largest release for a film (both live-action and animated) behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to 239 IMAX screens.

57 IMAX screens will play internationally, giving it a total of 290 IMAX screens worldwide, which has put it a new record for an animated film, previously held by 239 IMAX screens worldwide from Shrek Forever After. The film comes out in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2011, and will be released in the United States on April 1, 2011.
