Tom Holland is helping Letterboxd turn The Odyssey into a format-tracking event before Christopher Nolan’s film reaches theaters.
In a new Letterboxd video, Holland tells users that they will be able to log not only that they saw the movie, but also the format they used to see it.
Variety reported that the feature is tied to Nolan’s wide premium-format rollout for The Odyssey, including IMAX 70mm, IMAX, 70mm film, 35mm film, Dolby Vision, and premium large formats.
The movie opens July 17, 2026, and advance ticket demand has already turned some format screenings into a chase for Nolan fans.
Letterboxd Is Adding a Format Log for The Odyssey
Gizmodo reported that Letterboxd will let users log which version of The Odyssey they watched. The site described the feature as a first for Letterboxd.
The exact display is still being held back. Gizmodo reported that Letterboxd has not yet explained whether the format choice will appear as a separate entry, a subcategory, or another kind of digital punch card.
The feature fits Nolan’s release strategy because The Odyssey is being sold across multiple formats instead of one standard theatrical presentation. Gizmodo listed IMAX 70mm, standard 70mm, regular IMAX, 35mm, Dolby Vision, 4DX, D-Box, and theater-specific formats such as RPX and XD among the options.
The Official Site Shows the Format Differences
The official Odyssey site lets users switch between aspect-ratio versions of the trailer, including 1.43:1, 1.90:1, 2.20:1, 35mm, 2.39:1, and 1.85:1/2.39:1.
The site says every frame of the film was shot with IMAX film cameras. In IMAX 70mm locations, the movie will be shown in IMAX’s 1.43:1 expanded aspect ratio, with each frame running horizontally through the projector.
That gives the Letterboxd tool something specific to track. A viewer who sees the movie in 35mm will not be logging the same physical presentation as someone who sees it in IMAX 70mm, even though both are watching the same film.
Ticket Demand Has Already Been Heavy
Business Insider reported that AMC CEO Adam Aron said The Odyssey recorded AMC’s highest first-day ticket sales for any studio-released movie title since 2022.
Aron also apologized to customers who hit long ticketing lines on AMC’s website and app. Business Insider reported that the only AMC first-day ticket sales since 2022 to top The Odyssey were the company’s music-oriented releases tied to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, with Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Lupita Nyong’o, and others also in the cast, according to Business Insider.
For Letterboxd users, the new tool gives that rush a place to live after the screening: not just “I saw The Odyssey,” but which version they managed to see.
