Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' will return to theaters again later this month, following a limited run in July that was not a one-time event. The film is now set to screen in theaters on an ongoing, regular basis going forward.
The original 1978 'Halloween' film is being re-released in U.S. theaters and in 12 other countries to mark the Halloween season. The screening event brings Michael Myers' slasher debut back to the big screen decades after its premiere.
IMAX theaters show films in a wider field of view by removing black bars seen in standard widescreen formats, but this only applies fully to movies shot with IMAX cameras. Films like Toy Story 5 and Moana have screened in IMAX theaters despite not being officially classified as 'Filmed for IMAX,' meaning they lack the true expanded picture area. Only movies captured with 65mm film or digital IMAX cameras achieve the format's signature immersive scale.
AMC theaters will offer a Street Fighter-themed popcorn bucket shaped like Guile's iconic flattop haircut, designed to be worn on your head. Cody Rhodes, who portrays Guile in the upcoming film, showed off the bucket in a social media post. The movie is set to release in theaters on October 16.
IMAX auditoriums use distinct 1.90:1 or 1.43:1 aspect ratios for digital and film projection, resulting in screens that are notably taller and squarer than standard cinemas, some reaching nearly 60 feet tall for 70mm showings. Filmmakers like Christopher Nolan note that shooting for IMAX means capturing more visual information and carefully planning framing so movies translate across different screen shapes, rather than simply blowing up existing footage.
