70mm - Buzz Talk & News

This is probably the average weekend when school gets out, but it doesn't look like theaters' hours are expanding on top of there being more stuff coming out. The first of three DC Universe films coming out this year, The Flash, plays The Capitol,...

Well, apparently the place at South Bay is open again. Wonder what that was about! (And now there's no showtimes listed for the Imax screen at Assembly Row. Weird!) The week's big opening is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the first half of...

Not necessarily fewer options for what to see this weekend, but fewer places to see them, as Regal's Fenway location had its last day on Sunday, one of a few places where their landlords wouldn't back down enough on rent to keep it open. I suspect t...

Aside from the major releases, it's also kind of one of those weeks where you look at the repertory stuff and then check to see if there's work being done on the MBTA that may screw up getting from one to another. The week's big release is Elvis, wi...

There's a part of me that wants more things like this weekend's big opening to get all the blockbuster accouterments it does - the multiple screens, the special previews, etc. - but I kind of also wonder if the big hit for grownups could be something...

Not going this weekend, because there's tons of stuff here, but kind of keeping tabs on a theater in NYC to see how long they'll have a 70mm print of a new release. Be nice if it were just down the street, but that's not how it works, apparently. A...

Extra-long holiday week approaching, with studios shoveling an unreasonable amount of movies into theaters over the next nine days despite likely being caught surprised by just how much demand there was for the Spider-movie. Some long-awaited and lo...

Based on the crowd at the new Spider-movie and what I've been reading about advance ticket sales, this could have the sort of opening we haven't seen since 2019, which is a heck of a tug-of-war between "theaters are probably safer than we think&...

First things first - The Aeronauts isn't perfect, but it's kind of my thing in a way that a certain movie last week wasn't, and with the Coolidge only having so many 70mm showtimes, with a few being preempted to show something else in the big room, I...

Weekend after Thanksgiving, so there's not much coming out, so let's catch up and find something unusual. The biggest new release is Playmobil: The Movie, which sounds like a lame knockoff of The Lego Movie, but my nieces love those toys, so who kno...

Get ready for some subtitles this weekend, folks; a couple of the world's most revered filmmakers have new ones opening this week. First up is Parasite from Bong Joon-ho, and let's give a big hand to everybody around the world who didn't blab about...

Double features and a double-dip. I'm not entirely sure about the Somerville's plans to move the 70mm/widescreen fest to May; the prints were nice but they didn't have a whole lot of room to get creative. Maybe with a full year to prep the next...

Huh, things got changed up at one theater last minute, which makes me feel a little less ridiculous about last week's trip to catch something in New York. Big movie this week is John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, which is more of the high-quality ac...

Continuing my plans not to get worked up too much about this event from the festival half, I didn't buy a ticket until a fair chunk of the lineup had been announced (and announced as playing on film), and on top of that, the cold I was nursing for th...
