‘The Odyssey' IMAX 70mm Tickets To Go On Sale A Year Ahead In US/UK
While the tagline for the movie is 'Defy the Gods' it could equally be 'Defy the Online Queues' as ... More tickets are about to go on sale for 'The Odyssey'.
The hype for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has officially begun. Not content with releasing a teaser trailer, which is currently running exclusively in cinemas ahead of Superman, Variety has revealed that The Odyssey tickets will go on sale on July 17th, 2025, a full year to the day ahead of its anticipated release date.
This is the first time a studio has put tickets for sale this early in advance, but considering Nolan has a loyal army of fans large enough to sack a city, there certainly won't be any shortage of uptake.
Many of these are enthusiasts for the IMAX 70mm format that Nolan champions, and the tickets will only be on sale for those venues. While early rumors revealed that AMC would be selling tickets at its IMAX 70mm-capable Lincoln Square theater in New York, the UK-based IMAX Vanguard group suggests that the BFI IMAX in London will offer tickets too. While the Manchester Printworks in the north of England has also teased the movie, it has not indicated it will be offering tickets for sale at the time.
Traveling for IMAX
There are only around 30 venues worldwide that still have IMAX film projectors, and for Oppenheimer, many fans were willing to board a plane to travel to a screen that would let them see the film in Nolan's preferred format. Considering that The Odyssey is the first feature film to be captured entirely on IMAX film cameras, it seems likely airlines will be doing even better business this time round.
The Odyssey will depict the story of the ancient tale attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, which tells the tale of Odysseus (played by Matt Damon in the new film), returning home after the Trojan War. We have already had a glimpse of Tom Holland as Odysseus's son Telemachus in the trailer, speaking to an unknown character played by Jon Bernthal. The movie will also feature Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Lupita Nyong'o as well as Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron.
