"The Odyssey" earned nearly $300 million over its opening weekend. For those still looking to see it in theaters the way that the film's director recommends, South Florida has one venue with IMAX 70mm showings.
Academy Award-winning director Christopher Nolan ("Inception," "The Dark Knight") has previously suggested that fans watch his movies in theaters showing the film in IMAX 70mm, and one Fort Lauderdale theater provides any interested parties with the opportunity to do so.
Based on Homer's epic poem, the film follows Odysseus (Matt Damon) on his years-long journey back to Ithaca to reunite with his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), and son, Telemachus (Tom Holland). The film also stars Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron,
Elliot Page and Jon Bernthal.
Where can you see 'The Odyssey' in IMAX 70mm in Florida?
Moviegoers can see "The Odyssey" in 15-perf 70mm film at AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater in Fort Lauderdale.
Why does Christopher Nolan prefer 70 mm film projection?
Nolan previously told the Associated Press he is a longtime fan of the filming method, having created other films like "Dunkirk" and "Tenet" with large-format film stock as well.
He explained that viewers get a sense of 3D without glasses, adding that the cameras' sharpness and clarity immerse them in the world of the film.
"You rarely get the chance to really talk to moviegoers directly about why you love a particular format and why if they can find an IMAX screen to see the film on that’s great," Nolan said. "We put a lot of effort into shooting the film in a way that we can get it out on these large format screens. It really is just a great way of giving people an experience that they can’t possibly get in the home."
