The historic Alex Theatre in Los Angeles will keep showing Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” through August 20, 2026, after the venue became the highest-grossing theater in the world for the film in 70mm. The extended run follows strong audience demand for the fantasy epic at the cinema, which had not screened a new film in 35 years. The last first-run feature at the Alex Theatre was “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” in 1991. “The Odyssey” marks the theater’s return to premiering new movies, and its 70mm presentations have drawn crowds large enough to set a record among all exhibitors showing the film in that format. The film itself continues to break box-office records, according to reports, and the Alex Theatre’s success adds another milestone to its run. The theater’s extension means audiences will have several more months to see the film on the big screen in 70mm, a format Nolan has championed. The announcement underscores the staying power of the movie in theaters nearly a year after its release, as well as the revival of a historic venue that had been absent from the first-run circuit for decades.
