Fans are going to great lengths to watch Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" in Imax 70mm, a rare format that offers an unparalleled cinema experience. Despite being a dialogue-heavy drama, Imax accounted for 20% of the film's global opening, with the 70mm version earning an impressive $17 million to date. However, the limited availability of Imax film projectors poses challenges in bringing the format to a wider audience. Imax has extended the 70mm run of "Oppenheimer" twice due to popular demand, but will eventually have to make way for other films. Imax aims to find and refurbish more projectors to keep film alive and continue attracting both cinephiles and mainstream audiences.
