Christopher Nolan is known as one of the greatest defenders of the theatrical experience working today. He makes big movies designed to be seen on big screens. He also watches movies, including his own, on those big screens, even if that means he has to visit his local theme park in order to do so.
A clip is going viral on X that shows Christopher Nolan walking through the Universal CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood. Walking by the great director would certainly be a noteworthy experience for many, but it’s the added context for why Nolan was at CityWalk that makes the whole thing really interesting. It’s not because he wanted to stop by Voodoo Doughnuts or get a milkshake from the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium (I mean, he may have done that, too). It’s because of the the IMAX screen at the AMC theater.
