Nolan’s Odyssey IMAX Tickets Sell Out, Scalped

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey has set a new industry precedent by launching IMAX 70mm ticket sales a year before its July 17, 2026, release, with tickets in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco selling out within minutes. Scalpers are already reselling these tickets for up to $150, reflecting unprecedented demand for the premium-format experience. The film, shot entirely on IMAX cameras with a budget exceeding $250 million, stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson. Details about the movie remain largely under wraps except for a teaser shown exclusively in theaters. IMAX continues to capitalize on this momentum by announcing special re-releases, including the 15th-anniversary IMAX debut of Black Swan. The early ticketing strategy highlights both the enduring appeal of Nolan's work and the growing exclusivity of premium-format event cinema.
