Only 25 U.S. theaters can show 'The Odyssey' the way it's meant to be watched. Here's where they are.

Key Points:

• Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of The Odyssey, shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film, is releasing in theaters this week, featuring stars like Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Tom Holland.
• Only 25 theaters in the U.S. have the specialized IMAX 70mm projectors required to show the film as intended, making these screenings highly sought after and often sold out months in advance.
• IMAX 70mm offers a much larger, sharper image that immerses viewers by filling their peripheral vision, creating a near-3D experience without glasses, according to Nolan.
• Tickets for IMAX 70mm screenings have become a major event, with some fans traveling internationally and resale prices reaching up to $500 due to limited availability and no new projectors being manufactured in decades.
• While IMAX 70mm provides the fullest visual experience, the film is still available in standard theaters, and viewers will see the same movie, though with less image area and immersion.
