Nolan's 'The Odyssey': Tickets On Sale NOW, A YEAR Before Release!

IMAX 70mm Experience: A Nolan Trademark
However, there's a catch. These early bird tickets are exclusively for IMAX theaters equipped with 70mm film projection capabilities – Nolan's preferred format for delivering an immersive cinematic experience. Only a select few theaters across the U.S. currently possess this technology, making these tickets highly coveted. If you want to see 'The Odyssey' the way Nolan intended, act fast!
Nolan’s commitment to IMAX is well-documented. Following the success of 'Oppenheimer,' which saw IMAX screens contribute significantly to its global box office haul, Nolan collaborated with IMAX to upgrade their cameras and address technical challenges associated with 70mm film. This dedication has resulted in 'The Odyssey' being the first commercial feature filmed entirely with IMAX cameras.
