A map to visualize everyone's nearest IMAX 70mm theater and why your local theater is probably sold out.
I finally saw The Odyssey in 70mm this week at 7:45am on a Tuesday, because it was the only ticket I could get (seriously find a way to see it if you can). I walked out and immediately tried to book a second viewing—everything through September at my theater (Cinemark Dallas) is basically gone.
Feeling desperate, I checked other cities showing 70mm IMAX, which led me to Colorado Springs. **Completely open.**
I realized Dallas is the closest IMAX 70mm screen for basically all of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, while San Antonio, the next nearest option, barely takes any pressure off since most of our travel demand is from the north. I was convinced Dallas must be the closest theater for the most number of people. Feeling frustrated (and a bit jealous of Colorado) I set out to prove it.
My research confirmed Dallas isn't #1 , ut it's solidly one of the most in-demand screens in the country.
