Movie fans will soon be flocking to Chattanooga, where the Tennessee Aquarium will be one of only 25 theaters in the country that will screen "The Odyssey" on true IMAX 70mm film.
Why this matters in The Nashville
The Tennessee Aquarium's selection as one of only 25 US theaters to show "The Odyssey" in 70mm IMAX is a notable win for Nashville 's film scene. This exclusive engagement will likely draw visitors from across the region, providing a boost to local businesses and reinforcing the city's reputation as a cultural destination. The IMAX 3D Theater at the Tennessee Aquarium has established itself as a premier venue for immersive cinematic experiences, and this screening is expected to be a major draw. With the film's nearly month-long run, from July 16 to August 13, fans of director Christopher Nolan will have ample opportunity to experience "The Odyssey" in its intended format, and the aquarium's theater will be at the forefront of this unique cinematic event. This limited engagement may also spur interest in other local film exhibitions and screenings, further enriching Nashville's cultural landscape.
