For Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey , IMAX 70mm tickets go on sale on July 17, 2025, a full year before the movie’s planned theatrical release on July 17, 2026.

Quick Scoop

  • The first wave of tickets is specifically for IMAX 70mm screenings only.
  • These advance tickets are limited to theaters that actually have IMAX 70mm projectors (a relatively small number of locations worldwide).
  • Only select showtimes are included in this ultra-early sale; more showtimes and formats are expected to be released closer to the 2026 premiere.
  • Several entertainment outlets (Variety, Forbes, others) reported this coordinated July 17, 2025 on‑sale date as the “starting gun” for The Odyssey hype cycle.

In forum discussions, fans note that for some chains (like Cineplex and AMC), the listing time may be early morning in local time zones, sometimes around typical “event drop” hours, so hardcore viewers are planning to check right at the date change or first thing in the morning.

What to do if you want tickets

  1. Check whether your local theater has IMAX 70mm (not just regular IMAX) and confirm it’s scheduled to carry The Odyssey.
  1. Mark July 17, 2025 on your calendar and watch your preferred theater’s app or site right as the date hits. Some users report that prime seats can disappear extremely quickly for Nolan releases.
  1. If you miss this first window or don’t have a 70mm IMAX nearby, expect additional formats (standard IMAX, digital, regular showings) to open sales much closer to July 17, 2026.
