Tickets to Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ to go on sale a year in advance
Tickets for IMAX screenings of Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming blockbuster The Odyssey will go on sale on July 17th, exactly one year before the movie opens in cinemas.
This is the first time a studio has advertised a movie’s ticket sales a year in advance. It comes after Nolan’s multi-Oscar-winning movie Oppenheimer sold out showings at midnight and 6am in IMAX and 70MM due to sheer demand at usual primetime. Previously, movies expecting a huge smash at the box office would release tickets at most two months in advance.
Nolan shot The Odyssey entirely with IMAX film cameras, not digital, across European locations such as Greece, Sicily, and Monaco. He has used the large-format production technique in other fan-favourite offerings, such as 2008’s The Dark Knight, 2020’s Inception, 2014’s Interstellar, and 2020’s Tenet.
The Odyssey star Tom Holland has also drummed up a lot of excitement for the 2026 movie after recent comments branded the film “unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
While Holland has to remain somewhat tight-lipped about the plot, in a new interview, he shared of working on the movie: “It was amazing. The job of a lifetime, without a doubt. The best experience I’ve had on the film set. Incredible. It was exciting. It was different. And I think the movie is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
The movie also recently hit the headlines after the teaser trailer emerged online on July 1st, after it aired before official cinematic screenings of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Nolan prefers his trailers as pieces of cinematic experience, so no online release date was announced for the teaser trailer.
The all-star cast includes Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie and Elliot Page.
