How Much?! 'The Odyssey' 70 mm Tickets Are Now $1,000 And Up

Movie hype can be electrifying for all parties involved. The cinephiles get their film fix, theaters bank in big time and the filmmakers at the center of it all get bragging rights in addition to a lucrative kickback if they’re lucky. In the case of Christopher Nolan’s summer 2026 blockbuster The Odyssey, well, it’s on track to becoming one of the biggest movie releases of all time.

The period piece, based on the legendary epic by Ancient Greek poet Homer, pulls out all the stops: a star-studded cast — we’re talking A-list across the board! — a story proven to be a crowd-pleaser and next-level cinematography as the first movie to be shot entirely on IMAX’s 70 mm film cameras. The latter has caused so much commotion that tickets for IMAX screenings, which sold out everywhere a whole year ago during its pre-sale, are now being hiked up by resellers for hundreds of dollars.

Some are even going for upwards of $1,000!

As it currently stands, tickets for virtually every IMAX 70 mm screening of The Odyssey are completely sold out for the remainder of July and well into mid-August. A quick eBay search shows a variety of options ranging from $400 for a single ticket to $800 and $1,000 for multiples. In one listing, a set of 12 prime section tickets for a Saturday night screening at the Regal Mall Of Georgia, one of only 25 theaters in America equipped with a 70 mm theater, is currently going for a whopping $12,000. On the same day in New York City, another listing shows 5 tickets for AMC Lincoln Square 13 priced at $7,000. A similar listing has an equal amount of tickets at the same theater for $1,000, but you’d have to wait until early August while avoiding spoilers for three weeks.
