The Odyssey returns Dec 11 — Imax 70mm and 1,000+ screens for awards season
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Universal is putting Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey back in more than 1,000 U.S. and Canadian theatres from 11 December, including Imax and Imax 70mm, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter report alongside the studio's announcement. The July epic has taken about $626 million domestic and $1.8 billion worldwide — Nolan's and Universal's highest-grossing film — and already notched the biggest Imax haul on record at over $550 million. A shorter Imax/70mm encore ran in early October; this wider return lines up with awards season.
Second big-screen lap for $1.8B Homer — Oscar campaign, or do you still need that 70mm fix?
