Overview

  • IMAX 70mm tickets for The Odyssey will go on sale July 17, 2025—one year before its July 17, 2026 release—marking the first time a studio has opened advance bookings a full year ahead of a film’s premiere.
  • Sales are exclusive to select theaters equipped with IMAX 70mm screens and cover limited showtimes.
  • Nolan’s epic is the first feature to be shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras, building on the format’s strong box-office performance with Oppenheimer.
  • A cinema-only teaser has been playing before Jurassic World Rebirth, and Universal is expected to debut the full trailer online alongside ticket sales.
  • Matt Damon headlines as Odysseus with Tom Holland as Telemachus, supported by a star-studded ensemble including Anne Hathaway and Zendaya.
