This info-scant poster for a film that won’t be released until July 2026 has already pre-sold $1.5 million in advance Imax tickets. That has to be a record.

Director Christopher Nolan likes breaking records. And his first poster for “The Odyssey," featuring a statue covered by flickering embers, comes with the tagline, “Defy the Gods.” Let’s do it.  Those limited Imax tix won’t be available for long.
