Nolan's The Odyssey Limited to 41 True IMAX Screens Due to Aging Projector Tech
Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey will be shown in true 70mm IMAX format at only 41 theaters worldwide. The scarcity is rooted in a decades-old technology problem, as no new IMAX projectors are currently being manufactured. IMAX has to rebuild and retrofit its aging machines, which are large and highly complex to maintain. Adding to the challenge, the physical film prints for 70mm IMAX are enormous, weighing hundreds of pounds. Together, these factors make a full true-IMAX release logistically impossible beyond a limited number of global venues.
