Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” continues at the Alex Theatre in Los Angeles after performing strongly in 70mm and drawing enough audience demand to keep it on screen longer than initially scheduled. Deadline reports the historic theater will continue showing the film through August 20, 2026. The outlet also notes the Alex Theatre has become the highest-grossing 70mm exhibitor for “The Odyssey.”
Both sources highlight the theater’s unusually long gap between first-run releases. The Hollywood Reporter states that the last first-run movie screened at the Alex Theatre was “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” in 1991, describing it as a 35-year stretch without screening a new first-run movie. Deadline similarly frames “The Odyssey” as the first first-run movie at the theater since “Terminator 2,” reinforcing the significance of the current run.
Together, the reporting indicates the Alex Theatre is maintaining its 70mm presentation of “The Odyssey” into 2026, with record-level performance cited by Deadline and the theater’s prior first-run history detailed by Hollywood Reporter.
