[citation needed] Imperial is owned by Nordisk Film and is located near Vesterport railway station.

It has undergone several renewals, the latest of which were completed in September 2013 when Dolby Atmos was installed.

The latest renewal took place in September 2013 when a new borderless, 40% bigger screen was installed, along with Dolby Atmos and new seats.

In order to continue to support the projection of legacy films, as well as newer movies which are not distributed digitally, Imperial still has one of the two Philips EL4001 DP70's, which were first installed back when it first opened in 1957.

Due to the hall's special fan-like shape, Imperial has had many problems with the surround sound system.
