A24 and IMAX are coming together to make this summer one for the books with an exciting lineup of films. First up is the highly-anticipated director’s cut of “Midsommar” on Thursday, June 20. Fans can then look forward to Mat Whitecross’ “Oasis: Supersonic” on Tuesday, July 16, followed by the Best Picture winner “Everything Everywhere All At Once” on Wednesday, August 28.
The screening series, called A24 x IMAX Present, will continue each month for the next year. Classics from A24’s premium library of over 140 feature films will be digitally remastered by IMAX. In previous collaborations, IMAX has brought Alex Garland’s “Ex Machina,” Ari Aster’s “Hereditary,” and the Safdie Brothers’ “Uncut Gems” back to theaters.
Screenings will take place in more than 300 IMAX locations nationwide and at select locations internationally. Tickets are available via their official websites.
A24 and IMAX have also remastered Talking Heads’ acclaimed concert film “Stop Making Sense.” In addition, limited IMAX releases have been given to “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and “Beau is Afraid.”
This summer, Ari Aster returns to IMAX with the re-release of Midsommar. Coinciding with this momentum, Aster’s fourth film for A24 is currently in production. Titled “Eddington,” it features a modern Western theme and boasts a star-studded cast including Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal. The film is rumored to depict events during the COVID pandemic, following a couple stranded in a small town which transforms into a nightmare after dark. Aster has called it a “Western-noir dark ensemble comedy.”
The director’s cut of ‘Midsommar’ adds around 35 minutes of footage compared to the theatrical release.
For those who missed it, Ari Aster’s extended cut of Midsommar previously released in 4k is the preferred version according to many fans. Unfortunately, it’s currently sold out but expected back in stock soon at A24’s online store.
A look ahead at what’s next: according to IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond, Francis Ford Coppola’s highly anticipated film “Megalopolis” will also receive a limited IMAX release. The movie recently premiered at Cannes and is still seeking U.S. distribution.
The movie will play to cinephiles and Coppola fans.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s new Warner Bros. feature, starring Leonardo DiCaprio among others, is another major release set for an IMAX debut on August 8, 2025. Warner Bros. is treating Anderson’s project as an event film worthy of the big screen experience offered by IMAX.
The collaboration between A24 and IMAX marks a significant milestone in bringing premium cinema experiences closer to audiences worldwide.
