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.

Callum Turner stunned the audience at San Diego Comic-Con as he presented the teaser of Neuromancer on Saturday.

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.”

Ridley Scott announced nearly five years ago that he was planning a spinoff TV series based on his 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner and its 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049. Finally, or almost. Prime Video released the first trailer for its new ten-episode Blade Runner series at San Diego Comic-Con. A teaser was also released for Rings of Power, the third season of Prime Video and HBO’s Lanterns.
Silka Luisa, showrunner of Shining Girls (Evening Girls), joined Yeoh on stage for the reveal. An exclusive clip was also shown to the crowd. Luisa said to Entertainment Weekly that this series is true to “noir principle… there’s also a mystery that’s at the core of the show, that both looks forwards and backwards when it comes mythology. There’s an uprising that has taken place and humans have lost. They are now second class citizens. The show is imagining the future and asking what it means to be human when humanity no longer matters.

Lanterns
Lanterns is the DC Universe show coming to HBO Max. We have seen two teasers so far, and both made it very clear that we are in for something closer to True Detective, a sci fi version of superheroes. HBO released a new trailer for the show at SDCC, which is less earthbound. The trailer is a little less Earthbound, giving us a “space cop’s” feel, while revealing that the shapeshifting Manhunters are central to the story. It also takes us out into space and gives us our very first glimpse of Sinestro, an ex-Corps member who has gone rogue. HBO has released seven clips, but they haven’t been made public.
According to the official logline: “The series will follow new recruit John Stewart, (Aaron Pierre), and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, (Kyle Chandler), as they are drawn into a deep, earthly mystery while investigating a crime in America’s heartland. There will be 2 storylines, one in 2016, about a Nebraska murder, and another in 2026.
Hal Jordan, played by Chandler, is an ex-test pilot who’s about to retire from the Green Lantern Corps. John Stewart Jr. from Pierre is being trained to be his replacement. Nathan Fillion returns to his Superman role, this time as the annoying Guy Gardner. We get a glimpse of him briefly in the teaser. Kelly MacDonald plays Kerry, the small town family-oriented Sheriff. Jason Ritter is Billy Macon’s wife. Garret Daillahunt is William Macon’s cowboy dad-in-law. Poorna Jaganthan portrays a woman called Zoe. Paul Ben-Victor appears as Antaan, an alien.
Jasmine Cephas Jones will play the younger version, while Nicole Ari Parker is Bernadette Stewart. Sherman Augustus portrays John Stewart Sr. Cary Christopher will portray a child with a special talent named Noah, Laura Linney, a senior Guardian, and Paula Patton in an unannounced role. Chris Coy will also play Waylon Sanders, a truck driver who seems nervous. The show’s inter-dimensional jail and Checkmate, which were introduced in Peacemaker S2’s finale, will also be featured.
Lanterns will premiere on HBO Max on 18 August 2026.
New Spaceballs
Amazon MGM Studios put together a panel at SDCC this year in parody of old Marvel panels. There have not been any public teasers, trailers or posters yet, but some teaser clips were shown yesterday at SDCC and at CinemaCon last April.
Josh Gad co-wrote and sold the sequel script to Brooks via a cold phone call. Gad said that he had shown the first movie to his young daughter when the COVID-19 epidemic was raging and she liked it so much, she asked to see the second. The official synopsis is below:
Dark Helmet is back! The galaxy faces a new threat forty years after Spaceballs 1, fifty years after Star Wars: A New Hope and one year following The Devil Wears Prada 2. The threat is so evil and unstoppable that, despite its lack of originality, it vows to restore the past… in every detail.
Prince Starburst and Destiny, a mysterious Palace adviser, are the only ones who can save the galaxy. With Lone Starr hiding in the Schwartz, Queen Vespa as the ruler, and Schwartz stretching thinner than an animated TV series, Vespa’s son Prince Starburst is the last hope. They must work together to find Lone Starr and Yogurt as well as any other legacy characters that fans have requested before discovering the hard way, though, that the reboot may be a threat they can overcome.
Brooks, 100 years old, reprises his role of Yogurt through motion capture. He filmed the lines in studio. Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga, Colonel Sandurz, Bill Pullman, Lord Dark Helmet and Rick Moranis are also returning. Lewis Pullman is the son of Pullman and Vespa. Keke Palmer plays Destiny, a palace adviser. Gad is a mawg – the same animal as John Candy’s Barf. Anthony Carrigan, Rowan Witt and others have been cast for roles that are yet to be revealed.
The New Spaceball is scheduled to hit theaters in 2027 on April 23. The Schwartz will be with you.
