TL;DR
Projector location in Cinema Theater.
The projector location in Cinema Theater can be positioned in Top left corner, Center, Top Right corner etc?

I mean Can the projector location in a Cinema Theater can be anywhere at the top of the wall?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. There is obviously an optimum position for the projector in a movie theater with respect to the screen position and the positions of the movie viewer seats.

Can you please post more details for your question and maybe some sketches to explain the positions you are asking about?

The projector can be anywhere if the geometry of the lens system can be offset sideways, while still remaining parallel with both the film and the screen.

Large format cameras sometimes support the same technique to correct for perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle
