A lot of people want to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and they really want to see it at AMC Theatres.
Tickets to see it in premium formats like IMAX, Dolby, and Prime went up on Thursday. Despite long wait times, Deadline reports the movie chain saw its highest ticket sales for a major studio movie since 2022. Not only that, presales are AMC’s best for any studio movie of the current fiscal year. Only movies for famous musicians like Taylor Swift and Beyonce are said to be of the same caliber in terms of first-day advance sales, and that’s because they open within AMC’s internal theatre network.
According to Deadline, over 6 million tickets in the aforementioned formats are still available. There’s always seeing it in a standard format, whose tickets aren’t on sale yet, but Nolan and the cast have been very particular in hyping up the premium ones. IMAX (in different millimeters), Dolby, Large—if you’re someone who pays attention to formats and aspect ratios, you’ve got plenty of ways to watch The Odyssey for the first time…then the second, third, and so on.
The Odyssey is in theaters on July 17, so go ahead and get premium tickets now or hope more screenings come in the weeks ahead.
