how many cinemas are showing odyseey in 1.43:1 70mm

Direct answer: There are very few cinemas worldwide capable of showing The Odyssey in true 1.43:1 IMAX 70mm — estimates put the number under 30, and multiple outlets report fewer than 25–30 such screens globally.

Quick context

  • The Odyssey was shot for IMAX and will play in IMAX formats; only select IMAX with Laser and true IMAX 70mm venues can present the expanded 1.43:1 ratio Nolan prefers.
  • Reports from outlets tracking the release say the number of 70mm-capable/1.43:1-capable screens worldwide is very small — commonly cited as fewer than 25, and other coverage says “under 30.”.

What that means for you

  • If you want to see it in 1.43:1 on 70mm film, check individual IMAX theaters — most IMAX showings will be 1.90:1, and only a subset will advertise 1.43:1/70mm presentations.
  • Early ticket drops for true 70mm screenings sold out quickly when they appeared, reflecting the scarcity of those screenings.

How to find a screening

  1. Check the official theater listings (IMAX/your local chains) and look specifically for “IMAX 70mm” or “1.43:1 Expanded” in the showtime details.
  1. Consult recent lists published by tech/film sites (they often list the specific IMAX theaters that will play the film in 70mm).
  2. If you tell me your city or country, I can look up currently listed 1.43:1/70mm showings near you.
