Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey Has Sold Out At London's BFI IMAX Theatre Until September 2026

Mumbai, July 21 - Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues to rewrite the record books even after its release. The filmmaker's ambitious epic has achieved another remarkable milestone, with every scheduled IMAX 70mm screening at London's iconic BFI IMAX selling out through September 10, 2026. The unprecedented demand has transformed the venue into a global destination for cinephiles, with fans travelling from across the world just to experience the film in its intended format. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The BFI IMAX has confirmed that all 173 IMAX 70mm screenings scheduled across August and into early September have been completely booked. According to reports, moviegoers have flown in from countries including Singapore, Canada, and the United States specifically to watch The Odyssey on one of the world's premier IMAX screens. Such demand is virtually unheard of for a theatrical release and further highlights Christopher Nolan's ability to turn premium-format cinema into a must-see event. The sellout comes just weeks after The Odyssey shattered BFI IMAX's all-time first-day ticket sales record when advance bookings opened. Since then, the film has continued to dominate the box office worldwide, while premium-format screenings have remained in exceptionally high demand. The BFI IMAX website currently lists the entire run of IMAX 70mm screenings as sold out, with additional dates expected to be added to meet overwhelming audience interest.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day To Challenge Avengers: Endgame For The Biggest Hollywood Opening In India?

Mumbai, July 21 - Marvel Studios and Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be one of the biggest Hollywood releases ever in India. The Tom Holland starrer has generated unprecedented pre-release buzz, with exhibitors and trade circles witnessing demand levels that are rarely seen for an international title. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) More than a week before its July 30 release, the film is already dominating ticket sales across the country, raising expectations of a historic start at the Indian box office. According to trade projections, Brand New Day is expected to collect a massive 50-60 crore gross on its opening day in India, easily among the biggest for a foreign title. If the film opens on the projected lines, it will put it within touching distance of Avengers: Endgame, which still holds the record for the biggest opening day by a non-Indian film with around 65 crore gross. If the current momentum continues through release week, Brand New Day could become the first Hollywood film in years to seriously challenge that historic benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's booking trends have been nothing short of extraordinary. Despite being over a week away from release, Brand New Day has been selling around 2,000 tickets every hour on BookMyShow since last week. Such sustained demand is almost unheard of this far ahead of release, with booking momentum remaining remarkably consistent day after day instead of relying on short-lived spikes. What makes the trend even more impressive is that even major Indian blockbusters rarely witness such consistent ticket sales more than two weeks before release. The response highlights the immense popularity of Spider-Man among Indian audiences and suggests that the film is on course for an event-level opening. Should bookings continue at the current pace before accelerating closer to release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will have a realistic opportunity to challenge Avengers: Endgame for the biggest opening ever by a Hollywood film at the Indian box office.

Another Deadpool Movie In The Works? Ryan Reynolds Confirms New Film Is Being Developed

Mumbai, July 21 - Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that another Deadpool movie is officially in development, giving fans their first concrete update since the record-breaking success of Deadpool & Wolverine. Speaking at Fanatics Fest, the actor revealed that there is "stuff coming" for the Merc with a Mouth, while teasing that the upcoming project will explore some of the character's lesser-known comic book storylines. Although Reynolds stopped short of revealing specific details, his comments have reignited excitement among Marvel fans who have been eagerly waiting to learn what's next for Wade Wilson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor did not disclose a title, director, release window, or any story details, making it clear that the project is still in its early stages. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) One of the biggest questions surrounding the film is whether it will be a traditional Deadpool 4 or another ensemble adventure. Reynolds has previously expressed his belief that Deadpool works best when paired with other characters rather than leading every story alone, leading to speculation that the new project could feature the X-Men, X-Force, or other MCU heroes. There is also no confirmation yet on whether Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine after the phenomenal success of Deadpool & Wolverine. While fans continue to speculate about another reunion between the iconic duo, Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about casting and plans. For now, Reynolds' confirmation serves as the strongest indication yet that Deadpool's journey in the MCU is far from over, with more official announcements expected in the coming months.
