AMC Bets on Indie Films With Leawood Films Distribution Arm

AMC Entertainment is launching Leawood Films, a new distribution label to release and market small- and mid-budget indie titles on its screens and with other theater owners, aiming to complement studios rather than compete. The venture is genre-agnostic and will not target big tentpoles; it will honor a minimum 45-day theatrical window before PVOD and 90 days before SVOD. The slate is not set yet and releases aren’t expected before 2027–2028. Veteran execs Toby Emmerich, Ricky Strauss, and Kyle Davies are advising, with HQ in Los Angeles and Leawood, Kansas.

Movie Theaters Push for Settlement Talks in Paramount–Warner Merger

Cinema United has reversed its opposition to the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger, urging Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and California AG Rob Bonta to meet promptly to negotiate a settlement with guardrails that would protect theatrical releases, prevent increases in rental terms, and keep film catalogs accessible to theaters of all sizes. The move comes as unions warn that delaying the antitrust trial could hurt industry workers and momentum at the box office, and as some theater chains push for an expedited resolution.

Michigan Hosts Rare True 70mm IMAX Showings of The Odyssey

Only about 25 theaters nationwide will screen Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in true 70mm IMAX; in Michigan, two venues offer the format—the Celebration! Cinema Grand Rapids North & IMAX in Grand Rapids and the Chrysler IMAX Dome at the Michigan Science Center in Detroit—while many local screens use digital IMAX that does not match the 70mm experience.

Paramount Pushes Back Against States’ Antitrust Challenge to Warner Bros. Merger

Paramount Pushes Back Against States’ Antitrust Challenge to Warner Bros. Merger

Paramount filed its opposition to the states’ bid to block its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, calling the suit one of the weakest merger challenges in modern antitrust history. The company argues that real-world film distribution economics and competition from other distributors—including Amazon MGM Studios, Universal, Disney, Sony, Lionsgate, A24 and NEON—mean the deal would not reduce output or raise prices for theaters. Paramount also contends that the merged cable lineups are complementary rather than substitutes and that cord-cutting is eroding leverage for all pay-TV owners. A hearing on the temporary injunction is set for 10 a.m. Friday before Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin, and this marks Paramount’s first detailed court briefing of its arguments.

Rarest IMAX 70mm Experience: Only 25 U.S. Theaters Show The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey arrives with critical applause, but only 25 U.S. venues can screen it in IMAX 70mm—the large-film format Nolan used to maximize sharpness and immersion. Those screenings are highly sought after and sell out quickly, with some fans even traveling internationally for the experience. For most moviegoers, a standard theater presentation remains available, but it won’t capture the full IMAX 70mm scope Nolan intended.

Where to Watch The Odyssey in True 70mm IMAX

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is the first feature shot entirely in IMAX 70mm, and only about 30 U.S. theaters (plus nine in Canada and a few abroad) will screen it in true 15/70 IMAX.
