‘The Odyssey’ Is Returning to IMAX Cinemas After ‘Digger’ Flop

Universal said tickets are on sale as the film returns for a limited run after grossing $1.76 billion worldwide.

  • On Friday, October 9, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey returned to select IMAX and 70MM theaters, following an announcement from Universal Studios earlier this week.
  • Tom Cruise's Digger is losing a majority of its IMAX screens after just one week, creating premium space for the re-release.
  • The Odyssey has grossed $1.76 billion worldwide, becoming Universal's highest-grossing film, surpassing the $1.67 billion record set by Jurassic World in 2015.
  • Classics professor Emily Wilson argued in the London Review that the adaptation lacked "psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth" regarding Homer's work.
  • Upcoming releases including Street Fighter on October 16 and Godzilla Minus Zero on November 3 will soon compete for the 41 theaters worldwide equipped for true IMAX.
