Fan Postpones Baby for 'The Odyssey' Movie
16 Jul
Summary
- A fan delayed having a second child for the movie's premiere.
- Multiple moviegoers booked cross-country flights for special screenings.
- Tickets sold out rapidly due to limited IMAX 70mm projections.
Fans are going to extraordinary lengths to experience Christopher Nolan's latest film, "The Odyssey." A 29-year-old fan revealed she delayed plans for a second child to attend the July 17th opening-day IMAX 70mm screening. This dedication mirrors other fans booking cross-country flights and enduring website crashes for limited tickets.
The film, based on Homer's epic poem, is the first feature shot entirely with IMAX cameras. This unique production and the scarcity of IMAX 70mm projection venues have made tickets exceptionally desirable. Initial ticket sales, launched a year in advance, sold out within hours, with subsequent releases also facing immense demand.
"The Odyssey" stars Matt Damon as Odysseus on his arduous journey home after the Trojan War. The film is Nolan's first since the acclaimed "Oppenheimer" and is set to release on July 17th in India and July 18th globally.
