Select IMAX 70mm tickets for Christopher Nolan's 2026 Odyssey go on sale this week
Nolan's anticipated adaptation of Homer's Odyssey isn't coming out until July 17, 2026, but tickets for select IMAX 70mm screenings will go on sale on Thursday, per Variety.
"Tickets for other formats and screenings are likely to go on sale much, much closer to the film's release date," the Variety report reads.
Just like with 2023's Oppenheimer, demand is expected to be high to see Nolan's new film in the premium format. It's actually set to be the first film shot entirely with IMAX cameras, adding to the hype for Nolan's latest. Funny enough, the movie isn't even finished with its actual production.
Theaters selling out a year in advance for a new movie sounds unheard of, but Nolan is the defining event filmmaker of the 21st century. There is no doubt some folks will snag these tickets super early.
If you're near a theater with a 70mm IMAX projector, you can make really, really early plans to check out Nolan's latest. Check with your local theaters closer to Thursday.
Also, a teaser trailer for The Odyssey is showing in theaters right now, attached to screenings of Jurassic World Rebirth and IMAX screenings of Superman.

HBO's ‘Harry Potter' Studio Builds a School for Child Actors to Attend During Filming Over the Next 8 to 10 Years
Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, which will be the production home for HBO's 'Harry Potter' television series, is building a temporary school so that the show's dozens of young actors can keep up with their studies amid filming, the BBC reports. HBO announced July 15 that 'Harry Potter' had officially begun production. Per the BBC, Three Rivers District Council is permitting the studio to 'use a series of portable buildings as a school facility for the next decade. The proposed classrooms have been designed to be used by up to 600 pupils during peak periods, when large crowd scenes are shot, but will typically serve about 150 students. It will operate on weekdays between 5:30am and 8:30pm so young actors can fit in their actual studies between night shoots, reshoots and location filming.'

The BBC added: 'The school infrastructure will be in place for a maximum period of 10 years.' Variety reached out to HBO for further comment. HBO's casting search for 'Harry Potter' included 32,000 children auditions for the lead roles following an open casting call. The young actors who will need to keep up with schooling during production include Dominic McLaughlin (Harry Potter), Alastair Stout (Ron Weasley), Arabella Stanton (Hermione Granger), Lox Pratt (Draco Malfoy), Alessia Leoni (Parvati Patil), Leo Earley (Seamus Finnigan), Rory Wilmot (Neville Longbottom) and Amos Kitson (Dudley Dursley), among others.

‘The Odyssey' Imax Tickets Will Go on Sale a Year Before Christopher Nolan's Epic Opens in Theaters
'A Journey Begins' is the tagline for Christopher Nolan's next film 'The Odyssey.' Few movie lovers expected the quest to start so early. Imax tickets for 'The Odyssey' will go on sale on July 17, 2025 — an entire year before the Universal Pictures action epic is slated to hit the big screen. But there's a caveat: Tickets will only be available at movie theaters with Imax 70mm screens (the director's preferred format) — and just for select showtimes. Tickets for other formats and screenings are likely to go on sale much, much closer to the film's release date. More from Variety Tom Holland Says Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Is 'Unlike Anything We've Ever Seen,' Raves About Sharing Scenes With Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway: 'The Job of a Lifetime' European Cinema Giant Vue Launches Epic, a New Premium Large Format Experience Going Up Against Imax Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune 3' Gets Official Title, Will Be Shot With Imax Cameras Universal and Imax declined to comment. It's rare that a studio would put tickets on sale so far in advance, but anticipation is high for Nolan's cinematic follow-up to 2023's 'Oppenheimer,' which further confirmed the director as a box office draw after generating a staggering $975 million globally and winning the Oscar for best picture. Universal's marketing department is already getting to work before 'The Odyssey' has even completed production. A roughly minute-long teaser trailer for 'The Odyssey' was recently unveiled exclusively in cinemas ahead of screenings for 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and 'Superman,' stoking excitement over a year before the film's release date. The teaser has yet to officially debut online, keeping with Nolan's longstanding prioritization of the big screen experience. An adaptation of the Homer's Greek epic, 'The Odyssey' stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, and chronicles his long and perilous return home after the Trojan War. The starry ensemble includes Tom Holland as Odysseus' son Telemachus, as well as Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal. Nolan is re-teaming with Universal, the studio that backed 'Oppenheimer.' The film will be released on July 17, 2026. 'The Odyssey' will be the first movie shot entirely with Imax cameras. Nolan has been a loyalist to the high-tech format ever since his 2008 superhero epic 'The Dark Knight' became the first Hollywood release to utilize Imax cameras for select action sequences. Since then, Nolan has used Imax cameras on films such as 2010's 'Inception,' 2014's 'Interstellar' and 2020's 'Tenet' to give them a certain scope and scale. 'Oppenheimer' in particular became a force in Imax, with the premium format contributing a massive 20% of overall box office grosses. Some cinephiles crossed state lines to see the film in 70mm Imax, selling out auditoriums for weeks. By putting tickets for 'The Odyssey' on sale this far in advance, it's clear that Universal and Imax expect Nolan's latest to drive a similar demand on the world's biggest and brightest screens.
