The makers of The Odyssey have opened the advance ticket window exactly a year ahead of its release. The Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan's next masterpiece’s tickets are available for select IMAX theaters, which are equipped to screen it in 70mm film, Variety reported.
The IMAX tickets for The Odyssey officially commenced on Thursday, July 17, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Fans must note that the tickets remain available only at movie theaters with IMAX 70mm screens, which is the filmmaker's preferred format. Also, this is just for select showtimes.

"Tickets on sale for the first IMAX 70mm screenings of #TheOdysseyMovie. One year from now," read a post on IMAX's official X handle.
Interestingly, this is the first time that the tickets for a film have gone on sale a year before its release in theatres.
The Odyssey: What to expect?
The epic action fantasy, Nolan's take on the classic Greek myth, will feature actor Matt Damon as the eternal hero Odysseus. It also stars Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Mia Goth, among others.
This is the first commercial feature to be shot entirely on IMAX film cameras.
Nolan first utilised the high-tech format for 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight. It emerged as the maiden Hollywood release to use Imax cameras to shoot select action sequences. Post its release, Nolan went on to shoot films like Inception (2010), Interstellar (2014) and Tenet (2020) using the IMAX cameras.
Nolan's last release, Oppenheimer, was a major hit in IMAX, with its premium format contributing a huge 20% to the overall box office grosses, Variety reported.
