Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” Breaks Norms with Year-Advance IMAX Listings
Thursday marks the beginning of a full-year countdown to Christopher Nolan’s next film, The Odyssey, and anticipation is already reaching epic proportions. In a rare move, select theaters have already listed IMAX 70mm screenings for the film’s opening weekend on July 17, 2026—a level of early exposure not seen even with Nolan’s previous blockbuster, Oppenheimer.

Premium format showings have appeared in the listings at Harkins Theaters’ Arizona Mills 18 and Cinemark Dallas—publicized through TheWrap—suggesting that audiences eager for an immersive experience will have the chance to book seats in advance, despite official ticket presales not starting until spring 2026.
While studios routinely secure deal terms with IMAX for exclusive format access months or years ahead of a film’s release, publicly listing screenings this far in advance is virtually unheard of. The move signals not only Nolan’s unparalleled cachet among cinema enthusiasts but also the marketing confidence behind this Greek epic.
With Nolan’s films frequently delivering spectacle and grandeur on the big screen, securing IMAX 70mm slots early may be the way fans ensure they don’t miss an unforgettable theatrical experience.
