It’s not uncommon for big films to open advance bookings early — but selling tickets a full year in advance is certainly rare. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening with The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan.

On its official X (formerly Twitter) account, IMAX announced that tickets are now on sale for the first 70mm IMAX screenings of The Odyssey, which is scheduled for a global theatrical release on July 17, 2026. This marks the first-ever IMAX film-format presentation of Homer’s legendary epic, with a dedicated booking link shared for eager fans.

Shot entirely using IMAX film cameras, The Odyssey continues Nolan’s passion for immersive large-format storytelling. The film promises to bring the ancient Greek tale of Odysseus — the hero’s perilous journey home after the Trojan War — to the big screen in a visually spectacular way that could redefine epic cinema.

IMAX has listed theaters across the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and the Czech Republic where the 70mm screenings will be available. While bookings in India are yet to open, the early international response has been overwhelming, with tickets selling briskly in several countries.

Combining Nolan’s massive global fanbase with the timeless allure of Homer’s classic tale, The Odyssey is already shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited cinematic events. The rich narrative and grand scale of the story make it a perfect fit for the IMAX experience, setting the stage for what could be a landmark in epic filmmaking.
