\n\tGlendale\u2019s century-old Alex Theatre installed its 70mm presentation system six weeks ago, just ahead of the July 17 premiere of The Odyssey<\/em>. Now the venue, which hadn\u2019t shown a first-run movie for 35 years, has announced it\u2019s the highest grossing theatre in the country for Christopher Nolan\u2019s mythological epic on the film format.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe response from audiences has been overwhelming and a wonderful reminder of how much people still value the shared experience of seeing a great film together,\u201d Alex\u2019s artistic director Miles Williams said in a statement which thanked Universal Pictures \u201cfor recognizing the important role historic theatres continue to play in Hollywood\u2019s cinematic legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Odyssey<\/em>\u2019s domestic box office total reached $395.5 million over the weekend. The film relinquished first place to Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em>, Sony\u2019s superhero sequel success story, which has taken over a portion of the Imax screens held by Nolan\u2019s movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 900-seat Alex, known for its mix of Classical Revival and Moderne architectural detailing, has been showing The Odyssey<\/em> three times per day. The venue will be extending its run by at least two weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that the theatre \u2014 whose last first-run film was 1991\u2019s Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em> \u2014 is now scheduling eight to 10 nights of movie programming each month. (Its busy calendar is filled with live events, from ballet performances to rock concerts.) It intends to host periodic special engagements of other large-format releases, including Denis Villeneuve\u2019s Dune: Part Three<\/em> in December and Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/em> in February 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Alex invested $500,000 in technical upgrades, including a new ground-floor projection booth. In-demand Los Angeles projectionist Taylor Umphenour, an Imax consultant who has worked with Nolan on his dailies, helped oversee the design and construction. \u201cWhat you have at a cinema like the Alex is a true understanding of the in-person experience of shared narrative,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s why people are coming \u2014 and losing their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n
