The Sphere in Las Vegas debuted Friday with a sold-out U2 show.
It's like an Imax theater on steroids and can fit the Statue of Liberty inside it.
One expert believes another show in it, a movie from Darren Aronofsky, is more important long term.

The highly anticipated Sphere in Las Vegas opened on Friday with a U2 concert and a star-studded attendee list, but it's a daily movie that will be more important for the theater and the city.
