Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Shatters BFI IMAX Ticket Sales Record

Christopher Nolan's new film, 'The Odyssey,' has set a new record for ticket sales at the BFI IMAX in London, grossing £750,000 in its first 24 hours. This surpasses previous records held by 'Dune: Part Two' and 'Oppenheimer,' both also directed by Nolan. The high demand led to website issues for some cinema chains, prompting an apology from the BFI. The film is being shown in IMAX 70mm format at select locations worldwide, contributing to significant fan anticipation and a sense of urgency to secure tickets. AI
