Nolan Film Tickets Hit $1,000 on Resale Sites
Tickets for Christopher Nolan's new film 'The Odyssey' hit $1,000 on eBay. This happened after ticket sale problems hit AMC and Fandango on Thursday.
A rush of buyers crashed AMC's website and app. Wait times stretched up to an hour.
Sales eventually resumed but many buyers went to resale sites. Prices on those sites shot up fast.
'The Odyssey' is set for release on July 17, 2026. It is the first film ever shot fully on IMAX film cameras.
The budget is reported at $250 million. Early IMAX tickets sold out within hours when they went on sale in July 2025.
That was a full year before release. This is seen as rare for a major studio film.
Nolan's previous film 'Oppenheimer' made nearly $1 billion worldwide. That success raised expectations for 'The Odyssey'.
