What happens to all the 70mm IMAX prints?

I am a tad obsessed with how good Dunkirk was in 70mm IMAX. It is rather disappointing that I will probably never get to experience that spectacle again the way Nolan intended to.

I was wondering what happens to all the movies which are shot in IMAX. Are they just kept in a vault forever where they might just deteriorate? 70mm IMAX resolution is supposedly "18k" pixels (regular digital IMAX is 2k-4k I think, a huge stepdown).

It's not like one can setup an IMAX theater at home either (doesn't matter how rich you are).
