MJR is having 70mm shows for the Odyssey. Can someone break this down to me like I’m 3 years old?
So I’ve spent the last year getting my friend hyped for this movie and completely sold him on the idea of this being a full IMAX movie. The nearest true IMAX to us is hours away and just not viable so the southgate lieMAX has become a favorite substitute of ours due to its quality. But now when going to get our tickets, I noticed 70mm showings separate from IMAX ones. As I know MJR to be a digital cinema chain, this completely caught me off guard. How are they able to do this, did they actually get a 70mm projector exclusively for the run of this film? Do they just swap out the projectors? Do they hire a specific person who knows how to operate it?
I would love for someone in the know or even works there to explain this for me, I’m so fascinated and excited and now I have to convince my friend to check this format out instead!
