Welcome to the movie chaos of the year! Christopher Nolan, the man who has already proven he knows how to make us watch films on the big screen, has now taken it a step further. His new film adaptation of Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ hasn’t just sparked interest – it has literally sold out IMAX tickets a whole year in advance! Yes, you read that right – a whole year in advance!
Regal, one of the largest cinema chains, operates six out of the total 26 IMAX locations that will be showing the film in a special 70 mm format. And what happened? Tickets vanished in less than 12 hours! Have you ever seen anything like this? AMC, their competitor, wasn’t far behind – at the Lincoln Plaza theater in New York, tickets sold out in an unbelievable 15 minutes, while at Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles, they were gone within just one hour!
The limited sale of tickets for the 70 mm screenings is available only at 22 locations across the US and Canada, and about half of those tickets are already sold out. And that’s not all – due to regulations, cinemas are allowed to show only one 70 mm screening per day during the first four days of release, from July 16 to 19. But don’t worry, if you missed out, there will be additional screenings in IMAX, IMAX 70 mm, and other formats released for sale later.
The cast? A real blockbuster lineup! Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal – all ready to take you on an epic journey through Homer’s tale.
This cinematic spectacle isn’t just a movie, it’s the event of the year that shows how much audiences still love experiencing films on the big screen, especially in IMAX format. If you thought cinemas were dead in the streaming era, Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ is here to prove you wrong.
So, what are you waiting for? If you’ve already bought a ticket, congrats – you’re part of movie history. If not, maybe it’s time to start planning a year ahead. And if you have a funny comment or think this is over the top, feel free to throw in a joke in the comments. After all, who can resist being part of this madness?
Welcome to the era when movies rule cinemas again, and Nolan is the king of the game!
