Celebration Cinema extending "The Odyssey" IMAX showtimes
Celebration Cinema just extended its sold-out run of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, adding new showtimes through September 16 at Celebration Cinema North - the only theater in Michigan showing it in true IMAX 15/70 film!
After weeks of packed shows running from 7:30 A.M. into early hours of the morning, with moviegoers traveling in from every state (except Rhode Island), tickets for the original run are nearly gone - but new seats are on sale now! This is just one of 16 IMAX 15/70 projectors in the entire country!
The Odyssey is also the first-ever feature film shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, using 11 miles of film weighing over 600 pounds! Here's a fun local connection, too: the Norwegian viking longship used in the film once docked at the Maritime Museum in Saugatuck, so some may have already walked the same deck as the movie's stars!
Grab your tickets now at celebrationcinema.com before they're gone.

Tony Annese inducted in Michigan Sports Hall of Fame
Big Rapids' Tony Annese is headed to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame! The Ferris State football coach just got the nod for the 2026 class.
He's the lone coach in this year's seven-member lineup. Annese has led the bulldogs to four NCAA DII National Championships in the last five years, piling up a 153-21 record since taking over in 2012. Combine that with his high school coaching days and he's sitting at an 86% win rate for his entire career.
He'll be inducted alongside Swin Cash, Kevin Glover, and Mark Ingram II at a ceremony December 17 in Detroit. Tickets start at $25 and are available now at michigansportshof.org. Congratulations!
