On the cusp of perhaps Christopher Nolan’s biggest swing in theatrical storytelling with The Odyssey hitting theaters the 2026 movie schedule in a couple of months, the director believes that movie theaters will be around for the long haul and not just in the short term.
Despite many (most?) people thinking they are on their way out, or at least becoming more of a specialty, in the age of home theaters and streaming services, Nolan makes a great case for why they will survive. After hearing Nolan’s remarks, not only do I love his "confidence," but I also agree with everything he said. Hollywood is changing, but (hopefully) there will always be room for theaters.
