The Odyssey 70mm IMAX tickets now on sale: Here's how to book Christopher Nolan’s epic exactly a year in advance

Christopher Nolan’s next big movie, The Odyssey, is still a year away, but that hasn’t stopped fans from booking their tickets already. IMAX 70mm screenings for the epic drama went on sale this week, exactly a year before its official release on July 17, 2026. This is the first time in movie history that tickets for any film are available this early.

Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson, The Odyssey is one of the most anticipated films of 2026, as this film is the first rodeo for Christopher Nolan since the huge success of Oppenheimer. Cillian Murphy's film made nearly $1 billion worldwide and brought over $190 million from IMAX screenings alone. Nolan is now pushing the experience even further. He’s shooting The Odyssey entirely with upgraded IMAX 70mm film cameras, which wasn’t possible before.


Tickets for the epic film The Odyssey are now on sale in select IMAX 70mm theatres, more than a year before its release. IMAX confirmed the sale of tickets on their official X handle on July 17, “Tickets now live for IMAX 70mm showings of The Odyssey. A year ahead.”

IMAX opened up the ticket sales at midnight on July 17, with a few 70mm theatres accidentally leaking the news a few days back, creating a major buzz among cinephiles in the US. The fans had been waiting in queue to get the tickets as only a few theatres in the US can provide the optimal experience of the film. Christopher Nolan has asked viewers to watch films like Oppenheimer and The Odyssey in 70mm theatres to experience the complete package of his production.

After Oppenheimer, the Oscar-winning director asked IMAX to improve their film cameras to handle a full movie shot in 70mm. IMAX accepted the challenge and upgraded their equipment just for him. IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond said Christopher Nolan promised to shoot The Odyssey fully on IMAX if they fixed the problems, and they did.

The movie is expected to be a visual masterpiece, given the 54-year-old auteur’s love for large-format filmmaking, seen before in Dunkirk, Interstellar, Tenet, and The Dark Knight trilogy.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a fresh take on the legendary Greek story of Odysseus (written by Greek poet Homer, published in English in 1614) and his perilous journey home after the Trojan War. Matt Damon leads the cast, alongside Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, and Mia Goth.


The film has a massive $250 million budget, the largest of Christopher Nolan’s career. A short teaser was shown in cinemas before Jurassic World Rebirth, and though it leaked online, excitement is only growing.
