The film trade has been in a tailspin for years, with many individuals foregoing the theatrical expertise in favor of watching movies at residence. I get it. Going to the flicks might be costly and, let’s face it, coping with different folks might be annoying (it’s been 10 years and I’m nonetheless mad about these youngsters who wouldn’t cease laughing throughout my first viewing of The Witch). However there’s nothing fairly like going to a theater and getting misplaced in a fantastic movie for a few hours. As well as, large-scale codecs are rising in recognition and theater chains are attempting to accommodate moviegoers.
Cinemark is putting in extra IMAX screens, together with ones that help 70mm movie projection. The corporate is including such screens to its places in Woodridge, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago); Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Rochester, New York. It’s additionally including 4 IMAX with Laser techniques — a 4K laser providing — to different places within the US within the coming months. It’s upgrading its different 12 IMAX screens throughout the Americas with that tech too.
In keeping with Variety, Cinemark plans to have the brand new IMAX 70mm movie screens arrange by July 17, 2026. That’s the discharge date for Christopher Nolan’s subsequent movie, The Odyssey, which is the primary theatrical launch to be shot totally in IMAX. Because it stands, solely 30 film theaters on the planet can display screen movies in IMAX 70mm, which is Nolan’s preferred format.
IMAX is proving in style with cinemagoers who’re in search of a large-format expertise that may be unimaginable at residence (not less than not with out an obscene non-public display screen). Certainly, many IMAX 70mm screenings of The Odyssey sold out a year in advance.
IMAX 70mm isn’t the one format with restricted availability that’s drawing audiences to theaters. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After One other is the primary film in 60 years to be projected within the VistaVision format, however solely at a number of places. The movie is at the moment being screened in IMAX 70mm in some cinemas too.
