Resale Tickets for Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Are Already Skyrocketing One Year Before Release
Movie fans are scrambling for tickets for Christopher Nolan's next film.
Tickets went on sale on Thursday to see the iconic filmmaker's upcoming film, The Odyssey, in IMAX 70 mm film, a full year before its release date. IMAX announced the offer on their official social media accounts, which included a list of 26 movie theaters showing the movie over the July 17-19, 2026 weekend, in addition to Thursday afternoon screenings across the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.
The film will follow Odysseus (Matt Damon), the king of Ithaca, as he embarks on the journey home after the Trojan War. In addition to Damon, the film also stars Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Mia Goth.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 95% of seats were already sold, leading up to a total of $1.5 million in sales. As the day went on, tickets were being resold on eBay and other sites for anywhere between $300 and $400, compared to the original price of $25-$28.
This is the first time in history that tickets have gone on sale a year before a film's opening. The title is a follow-up to Nolan's Oscar-winning 2023 film Oppenheimer, which did huge business in IMAX theaters and made $957.8 million at the box office worldwide.
Though The Odyssey is currently in production, the first teaser trailer debuted exclusively in theaters in front of Jurassic World Rebirth, which opened over the Fourth of July weekend and has made $548.7 million worldwide in the box office within the first two weeks of its release.
The 54-year-old filmmaker's acclaimed movies include Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar, Dunkirk and Oppenheimer. Nolan often explores themes such as time, identity and morality in his titles, which all have earned mass critical and commercial success.
The Odyssey will hit the big screen on July 17, 2026.
