'The Odyssey' is screening at 3 a.m. in SF. It's nearly sold out.
Key Points:
- Christopher Nolan’s film “The Odyssey” is being shown nearly 24/7 at San Francisco’s Metreon starting July 16, with screenings from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. from July 17, due to high demand and limited ticket availability.
- The Metreon is one of only 24 theaters nationwide screening the film in the rare analog 70mm IMAX format, which sold out nearly a year in advance for daytime showings.
- “The Odyssey” is the first film ever shot entirely with IMAX cameras, enabled by new quieter camera casings that allow for both grand and intimate scenes to be filmed in IMAX.
- The 70mm IMAX version is presented in a taller 1.43:1 aspect ratio, filling the entire IMAX screen for enhanced immersion, attracting fans willing to attend late-night showings.
- The star-studded cast includes Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron, adding to the film’s appeal.
