The BFI IMAX has announced it will release a further batch of tickets for Christopher Nolan's film "The Odyssey" on July 31. This comes after the cinema's initial run of 173 IMAX 70mm screenings sold out completely, with demand extending through to September 10.
The venue has managed to schedule additional early morning and late-night showings, with tickets for these new slots becoming available at 2pm on Friday, July 31. The announcement follows a period of intense interest that saw every screening of the film in its IMAX 70mm format sell out across eight weeks.
