Currently, one of only 41 cinemas around the globe screening Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” 70mm IMAX is experiencing technical problems.
Regal King of Prussia in Philadelphia informed customers on Friday that its 70mm IMAX projection system was having problems and only digital IMAX screenings were available.
The theater posted on Facebook that it “understands your frustration and apologizes for any impact this has had on your experience.”
The IMAX team has been working non-stop since Thursday and continues to do so to solve the projection problems. “We are trying to return normal 70mm operations as quickly as we can, but at this time there is no timeline.”
The King of Prussia Theater is one of only 25 theaters in America to show “The Odyssey” 70mm IMAX. New York City, Rochester, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island are the next nearest theaters.
Nolan told CBS Mornings co-host Gayle king last week that the new format is sharper and more like the image our eyes perceive.
Fans from Virginia drove as far away as King of Prussia to watch the 70mm IMAX film.
David Dekok: “I drove 80 miles to Harrisburg from Harrisburg in order to reach the theatre.”
Kate Elfatah said that when she arrived at the theatre, the buzz quickly spread throughout the lobby.
Elfatah replied, “I could not believe what I heard.” You have people who are out of order.
Elfatah said that customers received refunds as well as the opportunity to view the film in digital format for free. Not everyone was satisfied with that, she said.
Elfatah: “I met people from South Carolina who said that they had driven 8-10 hours.”
Kate Elfatah said that when she arrived at the theatre, the buzz quickly spread throughout the lobby.
Our crews informed several people CBS News Philadelphia interviewed that the projector had broken. This lack of notice was frustrating for many.
They could have sent out an email to all their clients. Dekok stated that they had our entire email.
Elfatah stated that no one from the theatre came to talk with anyone.
Regal has said that IMAX technicians are working round the clock to fix the projector. However, there is still no timetable for the return of 70mm screenings.

Larry the Cable Guy has recovered from a recent illness that landed him at the hospital.
Larry’s rep tells TMZ that he was admitted to the hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska late on Thursday night and diagnosed with appendicitis.
We were told that he had been released Saturday from hospital after a few days of lying in bed. He is already at home, and feels much better.
Although his stay in the hospital did not affect his live shows, it was necessary to delay taping of episodes of “American Mayhem”, a comedy clip show similar to “American’s Funniest Home Videos”.

Boosie is being sued for allegedly smashing a hookah glass over the head of a security guard. This lawsuit comes after Boosie was jailed following the incident.
Edward Iglehart, II has filed a lawsuit against the Louisiana rapper for an incident that allegedly occurred at Dome Nightclub on the 24th of May this year in Houston.
Iglehart claims he was hired as a security guard in the VIP section at an event in which Boosie, real name Torrence Hitch, Jr., performed. Near the end of closing night, the woman who was in VIP was allegedly up to him asking if she was allowed to re-enter the restricted part of the club to use the restroom.
Iglehart says that after he politely directed the woman towards a security guard, who could make a determination about the situation, the woman began to berate him and eventually struck him.
Iglehart claims he grabbed her and started to guide her when she fell. He claims he bent down to pick up the woman when he got hit with a heavy item.
Boosie, he claims, was over him holding a hookah that had broken. Iglehart, says Iglehart… was bleeding profusely and was taken to hospital.
He is suing Boosie, claiming assault and battery as well as defamation because he allegedly made false statements about him in social media. Iglehart also sued 1720 Main Street Entities, the company which owns the bar for overserving Boosie’s guests and creating an unsafe work environment.
Boosie’s arrest for the alleged attack took place in May. Houston PD was told by the club owners and promoters that Iglehart’s escorting woman is Boosie’s niece.
Carl A. Moore, Boosie’s lawyer, told us in a written statement that “we plan to investigate vigorously and defend Mr. Hatch from these allegations. We wish everyone to reserve judgement and let this case play out before a court.” Boosie’s attorney Carl A. Moore said in a statement to us, “We plan to vigorously investigate and defend Mr. Hatch against these allegations — we wish everyone would reserve any judgement and allow this case play out in court.”

Matchbox is the brand that continues to be a pipeline for movies. Die cast toys are best represented by slot race cars. Apple revealed what will be on AppleTV in the fall during their panel at San Diego Comic-Con. We knew this was coming for some time.
The film is directed by Sam Hargrave, of Extraction fame. John Cena stars as Sean, an ex-soldier who returns home to his family after a successful mission. The night Jessica Biel and her old friends Sam Richardson and Arturo Castro were supposed to spend reconnecting turned into a nightmare when the four of them are kidnapped, framed, and accused of stealing a nuke warhead. The group is now wanted by law and must clear their name one mistake at a time.
You know what it means: performing stunts with their cars, choppers and bikes that remind them of Matchbox toys as children. The mix of carnage, comedy and violence is so well blended that you’ll think the scene came right out of Fast & Furious.
Matchbox: The Movie, starring Corey Stoll and Golshifteh Faahani, will be available on Apple TV in October.
