There are plenty of additional IMAX screens around the city-and, indeed, around the state-but not all IMAX screens are created equal, and most don’t compare to those screens. Neither of the city’s largest screens (the Wortham Giant Screen Theater at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Regal Edwards Houston Marq’E & IMAX) are showing the film-the Wortham only occasionally shows nonnature films, and the Marq’E’s IMAX is currently closed. In Houston, meanwhile, there isn’t really a premiere choice. That theater doesn’t assign seats in advance, so if you want one of the better spots to watch from, you’ll need to show up early. Every single digital IMAX showing at the Texas Spirit Theater is sold out through the end of July, though there are currently tickets for most of the screenings in August. If you’re not in Dallas or San Antonio, and a trip to either city isn’t in the cards, your options are more limited. The next IMAX release isn’t until August 18, when Warner Bros.’ Blue Beetle hits theaters, which means there should be a few more weeks of Oppenheimer screenings-especially given that the ticket sales are so strong for the current run of dates. The good news for patient Oppenheimer-iacs who want the best possible seat is that there are likely to be more tickets available at both theaters as August goes on. It’s even worse in Dallas, where every single screening for opening weekend is already completely sold out (the final late-night screening on Sunday does have a handful of spaces for wheelchair users available), and you won’t find a seat in the middle of the theater at any screening through at least August 9. ![]() ![]() If you want one of the better seats in the house, in the center aisle and further back from the screen, you’re out of luck for now-the theater is currently only selling tickets through August 1, and even for a Tuesday matinee a week and a half after release, those seats are sold out. In San Antonio, your best bet is to plan for an early matinee (or a late-night screening of the three-hour film, if you’re a night owl)-and even then, you’re likely to be in one of the first three rows of the theater, probably over to one side, staring way, way up at the massive screen. Tickets for those premium screenings of Oppenheimer are hard to come by, though.
