I was wondering the same, and it sounds like it all depends on theatre. Someone also said that if you had quite a bit of money (I don't remember how much, but it was in thousands), you could pay for them to get the IMAX film spool (which are apperantly heavily controlled, for piracy I guess) and play it again just for you.
Most people can't just order a print even with money. What you can do is pay for a theater that already has a print for a private screening. They would need studio approval to show it once the fees were paid.
This is true for most films.
yeah, i dont know anything about this topic other than what that guy said, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So during the pandemic around me you could rent a whole ass movie theater for less than $300. But the good projectors would only be able to show movies that they had. There was some kind of fee, transportation, transmission?, to order up something else.
There were like lesser project that you could hook a DVD player or a game system up to but they were the projectors used to sell adds before the trailers and such.
