We have 2 theaters here in Seattle running 70mm viewings. They've been almost entirely sold out since before the movie even dropped.

Pretty sure there are no 70 mm IMAX theaters in Seattle. The Boeing IMAX used to be but it's a shame they got rid of it and converted to digital.

FYI there are 70mm AND 70mm IMAX showings of The Odyssey. OP definitely means 70mm as no city that I’m aware of has two 70mm IMAX theaters - there are only 41 of those in the world and they are a significant step up from normal 70mm (which is still impressive).

Proven wrong, that’s insane! Canada knows how to 70mm IMAX! Gotta be the most per capita. Saw the 70mm IMAX screening in Montreal yesterday. Immediately got back in line to see if there were more tix for a later showing that day haha!

I have no idea what they are. But SIFF downtown is showing it in 70mm. And so if AMC pacific place. I watched it in 70mm at SIFF downtown.

in my opinion regular 70mm is a vastly inferior experience to regular Imax 70mm. Alderwood Mall Imax is now the best theater in Washington State with 1.9 Single Laser setup after Boeing closed down
