Wedbush downgraded IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $21.00 (from $27.00).

Analyst, Michael Pachter, said, "Despite an increasing backlog and a consistent stream of high-profile theater signings, management appears content with a slower-than-expected installation pace that limits the company’s long-term growth potential. We believe our new price target, which represents 20x our revised FY:13 EPS estimate of $1.05 (from $1.16), more accurately reflects a growth rate in line with the disappointing pace of theater expansion."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $0.98 to $0.83.
