Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon and Tom Holland To Attend Mumbai Premiere of The Odyssey

Universal has added Mumbai to the film’s four‑city global premiere tour to highlight its IMAX shot milestone and to engage India’s large, high‑demand audience.

Written and directed by Nolan, The Odyssey adapts Homer’s epic tale of Odysseus and his decade-long journey home following the fall of Troy.

Overview

  • Universal Pictures International announced on Wednesday that Mumbai will host one of four global premieres and that director Christopher Nolan will attend with producer Emma Thomas and stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland.
  • The India premiere will be held at PVR Icon IMAX at Phoenix Palladium in Lower Parel and the studio has not yet announced the exact date for the July event.
  • The Odyssey is being promoted as the first feature filmed entirely with IMAX cameras, a technical claim the studio is using to position the movie as a premium large‑format event.
  • Advance IMAX bookings opened in India in early June and have seen rapid sellouts, high resale activity and premium prices reported up to Rs 3,300, exposing strain on ticketing platforms and raising questions about access to limited large‑format seats.
  • The film opens in theatres worldwide on July 17 and Mumbai’s inclusion reflects India’s growing box‑office importance and Nolan’s long connection to the country through past shoots and promotional visits.
