The Odyssey is the next big Hollywood release in India, and movie buffs are all charged up. The biggest reason behind the excitement is that it is helmed by the genius, Christopher Nolan. We all know how popular Nolan is in Asian countries, especially India. His every movie enjoys genuine interest among moviegoers, and even his upcoming biggie is trending well in the advance booking stage.
The Odyssey is enjoying good buzz on the ground level
Nolan is a brand in himself, and his name is enough to attract footfalls to theaters. His filmmaking style has been appreciated over the years, and he has built a loyal fan base. His last film, Oppenheimer, was a big success in India, earning 129 crore net. Even this time, the buzz is good as the film promises to be a visual spectacle. Since it’s the first feature film shot with IMAX film cameras, there’s hype surrounding it. Also, since it has emerged as Nolan’s highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, excitement among moviegoers has doubled.
Sees strong response in pre-sales
Due to the factors mentioned above, an urgency could be seen at ticket windows. Already, as we write, The Odyssey has sold over 1.1 lakh tickets at national cinema chains (PVR Inox and Cinepolis) through pre-sales. With some hours to go, the final number is expected to be much higher. This clearly hints at a strong start in India.
