Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' IMAX ticket sales surge ahead of July 2026 release

Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic "The Odyssey" is the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX® cameras. The star‑studded cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron and others. Ticket sales for the film opened globally on June 8, 2026, with India among the first markets to book seats. In the United States, AMC theaters reported record‑breaking first‑day sales for the movie, surpassing previous high‑grossing titles. The film is slated to open in cinemas worldwide, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema and other premium formats, on July 17, 2026.

The unprecedented demand reflects both Nolan's reputation and the novelty of a full‑IMAX production, prompting rapid sell‑outs for premium‑large‑format screenings across multiple countries.
