The success marks a significant milestone for the 1925 landmark, which recently underwent a major technical overhaul to accommodate 70mm film projection. This installation signaled the theatre's return to first-run studio cinema after a 35-year hiatus. Since the engagement began on July 17, the venue has become a focal point for film enthusiasts across Southern California, proving that audiences remain eager for high-fidelity, event-driven cinema experiences.

Glendale’s Alex Theatre Extends Run of Nolan’s The Odyssey
The historic Alex Theatre in Glendale has secured the top spot for 70mm screenings of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in the United States, driving the venue to extend its engagement by two weeks. The screenings will now continue through August 20, 2026, following a surge in demand from regional audiences.
Artistic Director Miles Williams attributed the turnout to a collective appreciation for the shared theatrical experience. The theatre, known for its Art Deco spire and Greek-inspired architecture, is positioning itself as a hub for both cinematic history and modern large-format technology. By combining its heritage with current 65mm 15-perf IMAX film capabilities, the Alex aims to solidify its status as a destination for major studio releases. Tickets for the additional two-week run are currently available through the theatre's website.
