Nolan's "The Odyssey" in IMAX 70mm: More Screens "Not Practical," Company Says

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," the first film ever shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, opens in cinemas nationwide this weekend. However, IMAX has acknowledged that expanding the number of 70mm screens for the release is "not practical," meaning most viewers won't see it in that format. Nolan and cast members including Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway have been vocal advocates for the 70mm IMAX experience.

Should IMAX expand the number of 70mm screens for Nolan's "The Odyssey"?

Record Housing Supply from Developers – Time to Negotiate Prices

Polish property developers are sitting on a record number of unsold flats, with available units exceeding demand in many cities. While sales remain solid, the surplus clearly favours buyers. JLL analysts say the situation creates room for price negotiation and is expected to last at least until the end of 2025.

Is now a good time to buy a flat from a developer?

India's theatrical market hit a record $1.48BN in box office revenue in 2025, making it one of the few Asian markets to surpass pre-pandemic levels. The boom was driven by a string of Hindi-language hits, defying the global slowdown caused by streaming growth and the shrinking Hollywood pipeline. PVR Inox executive Sanjeev Kumar Bijli discussed the results, cinema expansion plans and acquisitions from Cannes.

Can Indian cinema maintain its record box office numbers in the coming years?

Scholars debate whether the legendary hero Odysseus was based on a real person. The question remains open, but archaeological clues suggest some historical basis may underlie the myth.

The more vivid orange colour is designed to grab drivers' attention more effectively in busy work areas. The colour distinction is a deliberate safety standard used across US roads.
