According to reports, the July 17-19 weekend and preview showings have been entirely sold out at AMC Lincoln Square 13 in New York City, the Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk Hollywood, and the Regal Irvine Spectrum in Orange County.
The project is an adaptation of the ancient Greek epic poem "Odyssey" by Homer.
Homer's Odyssey follows Odysseus, who spends years travelling back home from the Trojan War while battling mythical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods in his journey.
Nolan's film is not the first adaptation of the epic. It has previously been adapted in the 1954 movie Ulysses. Directed by Mario Camerini, the film starred Kirk Douglas.
Coen Brothers' 2000 directorial O Brother, Where Art Thou? was also based on Odyssey.
