Thanks Bob. This looks good! Had not heard about it being released in HDR.
For those who don't know what HDR is, the current issue of Widescreen Review Magazine should have an extensive write up I did there to explain this and other next generation video technologies. In a nutshell, the current dynamic range of movies is very low compared to what we can get in photography and for that matter, what existed in film. You can't for example have bright skies and details in the foreground. Would be interesting to see if this movie has true dynamic range or fake (i.e. just the contrast artificially increased). Who is going to see the movie and report back?

So these are the HDR theaters:
El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, CA
And three AMC Premium theaters:
Prime auditoriums at the AMC BarryWoods 24 in Kansas City, MO
AMC Deerbrook 24 in Houston, TX
AMC North Point Mall 12 in Atlanta, GA.
So if you live in those areas those are the theaters to go and see. They have the new laser projectors from Christie and Atmos sound.

Not that I can find. Here is the more extended list:
El Capitan in Hollywood, CA
AMC Burbank 16 in Burbank, CA
AMC BarryWoods 24 in Kansas City, MO
AMC Deerbrook 24 in Houston, TX
AMC North Point 12 in Atlanta, GA.
AMC Empire 25, NYC
AMC Century City 15, Los Angeles
AMC Town Center 20, Kansas City
AMC Willowbrook 24, Houston TX
It requires about a $2M investment and so far I can only find the AMC theater chain in US trying to go after that premium presentation/market.

Amir was right with those four spots enumerated just above in his first quote. ...Just those four are so equipped @ this present moment.
People in London (UK), Montreal (Canada), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Tokyo (Japan), and other parts of the world ... I don't think they have such luck right now.
Eventually HDR will expand. ...And perhaps it will come even here where I live, Vancouver Island...Victoria shantytown. :b
I'd like to see it too, in HDR. ...But I would have to fly to Hollywood, California. ...Expensive just to see 'Tomorrowland' in HDR.

Not looking good then as far as AMC having them. I suspect if the reviews are positive, there will be more expansion.
Oh, IMAX also has plans to add HDR so that may be another way to experience it in the future.
Meanwhile, I found the first theater outside the US with Dolby Vision: the cinema complex of JT Eindhoven, Netherlands. So a short trip from London.

.And more from AMC:
By mid-May 2015, AMC expects to have fully installed Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime in up to four AMC locations in major cities across the United States. AMC intends to expand to 50 operating Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime locations by December 2018 in additional cities, including San Francisco, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston, Denver, and Seattle, and up to 100 Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime locations by December 2024.

Bob, I modified the title to include HDR information we are posting. I will also move it at some point to the movie section.
Thx Amir; I thought of that too yesterday, but did not bother asking for a change. ...You've read my mind. :b
* When I first posted it, I wanted to simply post the youtube video trailer.
...Then I added HDR as this was the first movie to be projected in Dolby Cinema, right the next day, which is today...May 22, 2015.
It is a historic moment for video so wanted to make sure the record is captured . Thanks for bringing to us Bob.
