The Odyssey Prologue Premieres in 70mm IMAX Theaters
Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film, “The Odyssey,” is set to launch its theatrical journey this weekend. The journey begins with the exclusive screening of a nearly six-minute prologue.
The Odyssey Prologue Premiere Details
Starting December 12, audiences will be able to enjoy the prologue in select IMAX 70mm theaters. This exclusive premiere will run ahead of the re-releases of “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another.”
Trailer Release Schedule
The following weekend will feature a shorter version of “The Odyssey” trailer. This trailer will play ahead of all “Avatar: Fire and Ash” screenings starting on December 19. Additionally, the prologue will continue its exclusive run before IMAX screenings of “Avatar 3.”
Significance of IMAX 70mm Format
The choice of IMAX 70mm for the screenings aligns with Nolan’s preference for this format. Notably, “The Odyssey” marks the first film ever shot entirely with IMAX cameras. Nolan’s previous hit, “Oppenheimer,” saw substantial success in IMAX, with 20% of its overall box office revenue coming from this premium format.
Excitement Surrounding The Odyssey
An earlier one-minute teaser for “The Odyssey” was released during the summer, generating buzz among fans. This teaser played before screenings of “Jurassic World Rebirth” and “Superman.” “The Odyssey,” which adapts Homer’s Greek epic, features Matt Damon as Odysseus. The film follows his tumultuous journey home after the Trojan War.
Star-Studded Cast
The cast includes prominent actors such as:
- Matt Damon as Odysseus
- Tom Holland as Telemachus
- Anne Hathaway
- Zendaya
- Lupita Nyong’o
- Robert Pattinson
- Charlize Theron
- Jon Bernthal
Ticket Sales Information
In recognition of Nolan’s influence in the film industry, UniversalPictures has opted to put tickets on sale for select IMAX 70mm shows a full year in advance, set for July 17, 2026. For those who missed the chance to purchase early, regular tickets will be available closer to the film’s release date.
