The film business has been in a tailspin for years, with many individuals foregoing the theatrical expertise in favor of watching movies at house. I get it. Going to the films could be costly and, let’s face it, coping with different folks could be annoying (it’s been 10 years and I’m nonetheless mad about these youngsters who wouldn’t cease laughing all through my first viewing of The Witch). However there’s nothing fairly like going to a theater and getting misplaced in an excellent 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 areas in Woodridge, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago); Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Rochester, New York. It’s additionally including 4 IMAX with Laser methods — a 4K laser providing — to different areas within the US within the coming months. It’s upgrading its different 12 IMAX screens throughout the Americas with that tech too.
In accordance 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 fully in IMAX. Because it stands, solely 30 film theaters on the planet can display movies in IMAX 70mm, which is Nolan’s preferred format.
IMAX is proving common with cinemagoers who’re searching for a large-format expertise that may be unattainable at house (at the very least not with out an obscene non-public display). 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 couple of areas. The movie is presently being screened in IMAX 70mm in some cinemas too.
