The Odyssey Lands 3-Week 70mm Run at Village Theatre as 12-Month Renovation Nears

Summary
July 17 will bring a three-week 70mm engagement of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to Westwood’s Village Theatre, with ticket sales opening June 4 at 9 a.m. PT.
The run is being programmed by the American Cinematheque as a fundraiser for the 95-year-old movie palace, which is set to begin a 12-month renovation this fall.
Dolby previously refurbished the projection booth, and the theatre will now be fitted with restored dual 70mm projectors for Nolan’s film, shot with new Imax film technology.
Nolan and producer Emma Thomas are partners in Jason Reitman’s Village Directors Circle, the group working with the American Cinematheque to save and operate the 1,000-plus-seat venue.
A renovation targeted for completion in 2027 would reposition the Village as a home for premieres, repertory screenings, awards events and year-round American Cinematheque festivals.
