Although, for all the hype,  the vast majority of us will see this movie from a Digital source...

There are estimated to only be around 30-40 70mm iMax film theatres in the world, while there are at least 1500 digital iMax Theatres..

Not sure there are any imax film theatres in NZ

I had a look for curiosity's sake.  Events Cinemas have IMAX with Laser in Queen Street Auckland and Queensgate in Lower Hutt.  IMAX - Event Cinemas

On my list for this weekend is to watch The Mandalorian and Grogu... might make an effort to go and see this at the IMAX cinema just to try out the IMAX experience.

Upcoming IMAX movies:
Disclosure Day - 11 June
Toy Story 5 - 18 June
Supergirl - 25 June
Moana (Live Action) - 8 July
The Odyssey - 16 July

"With Laser" means it's not film.

Laser doesn’t play nicely with film.

Apparently Odyssey's run time clocks in at 2.53, so 7 minutes shorter than Oppenheimer,

The 70mm imax print will therefore be slightly shorter than the 11 miles long total length of celluloid that Oppenheimer was, it also weighed around over 250Kg..

The shear logistics of moving the print around is  is why movie distributors went Digital...

Manufacturing cost as well. I think it was around US$10k for a typical 35 mm print.
