Nolan, Damon and Holland to Attend Mumbai Premiere of The Odyssey

Mumbai’s inclusion on the film’s global tour shows Hollywood prioritizing India, with IMAX advance sales producing steep prices and quick sellouts.

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 Wednesday that Mumbai is one of four official global premiere stops for The Odyssey 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 Mumbai, though the exact July event date has not been released ahead of the film’s global release on July 17.
  • The Odyssey is being marketed as the first feature shot entirely with IMAX cameras, a technical selling point that the studio is using to push large-format screenings.
  • Advance IMAX bookings in India opened in early June and reports show high demand, rapid sellouts and premium prices for recliner seats reported up to Rs 3,000–3,300 at some venues.
  • The Mumbai stop reflects India’s growing box-office importance for Hollywood and raises fresh questions about limited large-format capacity, ticketing access and secondary‑market resale before the film opens.
