The 14 New England Theaters Where You Can See Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ in IMAX

Director Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film "The Odyssey," which releases on Thursday, July 16, 2026, was shot entirely with IMAX cameras.

So you might be wondering, does that mean I should watch it on an IMAX screen, and just where in New England are those theaters?

If you're looking to experience the movie in the premium format, there are 13 locations from Maine to Rhode Island.

Where to See 'The Odyssey' in IMAX Across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts?

In New England, there are 15 IMAX theaters.

Massachusetts has the most with eight, and even the Mugar Omni at the Museum of Science in Boston, the only IMAX Dome screen in New England, is playing "The Odyssey." (Just note that the tickets for showings there are listed on the science museum's website but not the official IMAX one.)

Meanwhile, Maine and New Hampshire have just one theater each with an IMAX screen.

So if you're willing to make a road trip to see the Matt Damon-led picture on a massive scale, there are some options.

Let's take a look at all the IMAX spots in New England for what works best for you.

Of the 15 IMAX locations in New England, one is not showing "The Odyssey" in IMAX.

That would be AMC Danbury 16 & IMAX in Danbury, Connecticut, due to work being done on the screen. You can watch it in a regular format, though.

Where in New England can you see 'The Odyssey' in 70mm IMAX?

According to U.S. Today, there are only 25 locations in the United States where you can watch "The Odyssey" in Christopher Nolan's ideal viewing experience of 70mm IMAX. Of those, only one is in New England: Apple Cinemas Providence Place & IMAX in Providence, Rhode Island.

But wait? What's the difference? Isn't IMAX just IMAX?

The short answer: it's film versus digital. Providence is showing actual 70mm film, which means a bigger frame, taller screen, and the actual format Nolan shot "The Odyssey" on. The rest of New England's IMAX screens are digital projections of the same movie, but very, very high-end quality.

If you're a purist, I can totally understand wanting to make the trek out to Rhode Island, but most casual moviegoers won't see a dramatic difference beyond, say, noticing the screen itself is taller and boxier than usual.

Also, definitely check on tickets beforehand because their website shows most of the first days of showings as pretty much sold out. Looks like a popular option, apparently.

Will you be seeing "The Odyssey," and will you be seeing it in IMAX when you do? It definitely looks like it's going to be an epic film.
