Twenty-five theaters in the United States are showing Christopher Nolan\u2019s epic \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d<\/a> in the IMAX 70mm format, and two of them are in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

At Regal Hacienda Crossings in Dublin and AMC Metreon 16 in San Francisco, viewers can see the new movie in both the highest definition and on the largest screen available.<\/p>\n

On the morning of opening day \u2014 Friday, July 17 \u2014 both theaters had sold out their IMAX 70mm screenings for the day. A few seats were available for the 3 a.m. Saturday showings, for $32 at Dublin and $28 at the Metreon, plus service fee if bought online. Next weekend\u2019s screenings were already filling up.<\/p>\n

The Metreon is next to Yerba Buena Gardens in the South of Market neighborhood, and Hacienda Crossings is a shopping center off Interstate 580.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d is the first non-documentary to be shot using the ultra-high-resolution IMAX cameras for the whole movie, rather than just for certain scenes.<\/p>\n

Other premium formats<\/a> in which it will be screened include those with half the equation: either IMAX or 70mm, but not both. In the Bay Area, theaters were charging around $22 to $25 for premium-format screenings and $18 or $19 for standard, not including the online fee. Some have matinee discounts.<\/p>\n

The star-studded movie, almost three hours long, has gotten strong advance notices, including from our reviewer, who calls it a \u201ccinematic marvel.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twenty-five theaters in the United States are showing Christopher Nolan\u2019s epic \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d in the IMAX 70mm format,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[389,184,7,7626,332,967,1924,181,1399,143,145,144,395,101,396,420,398],"class_list":["post-402680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-alameda-county","tag-bay-area","tag-california","tag-dublin","tag-east-bay","tag-entertainment","tag-film","tag-latest-headlines","tag-movies","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-peninsula","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-county","tag-things-to-do","tag-tri-valley"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
