The original IMAX standard was basically <1 screen width...if you want to replicate (although obviously that was for a 1.43:1 screen ratio)! You'll then need to ensure you have a source with an appropriate resolution of course aka 4K(the graph above is a good guide).
What is immersive?
"Accompanying the article is a plan drawing of a theater in which distance from the screen to the last row of seats equals the width of the screen. The closest row is about 35% of screen width. These ratios, 0.35W and 1.0W (where W=the width of the screen), provide horizontal viewing angles of 110° and 53° respectively, close to Shaw and Douglas’ goals of 120° and 60°. To obtain an angle of at least 60° for all viewers, the last row must be no more than 0.86W from the screen."
