A year ahead of its theatrical debut, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has already triggered a ticket-buying frenzy. Imax 70mm screenings for the July 17–19, 2026 weekend sold out within an hour of going live at midnight ET on July 17.

Within hours of Imax listing tickets for Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' a year in advance, showtimes sold out and scalpers posted huge upcharges.

ET on IMAX and others quietly announced via social media that tickets for “the first IMAX 70mm screenings for one year from now” were now on sale. Sixteen theaters in the U.S., six in Canada, two in the U.

Social media users have reacted incredulously online to listings for resale tickets to The Odyssey's opening night IMAX screenings.
