Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey: First IMAX Film with R Rating, India Bookings June 8
Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer's Greek epic, is set for worldwide release on July 17, 2026. It is the first feature shot entirely with IMAX cameras, a milestone Nolan pursued for nearly two decades. The film stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and others, and carries an R rating, making it one of the most expensive R-rated movies ever with a reported $250 million budget. Advance IMAX bookings open in India on June 8, allowing Indian fans early access alongside global audiences. Despite the restrictive rating, Nolan's previous R-rated film Oppenheimer's success suggests strong box office potential.
