Fans fly to IMAX screenings for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' is the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX cameras, driving strong demand for IMAX 70mm screenings.

Fans are flying cross-country and making personal sacrifices, such as delaying pregnancies, to attend opening-day IMAX 70mm shows.

Tickets went on sale a year in advance and sold out within hours, with some websites crashing due to demand.

Amber Connaghan, a California tech editor, postponed having a second child to ensure she could attend the opening-day screening.

Tim McHugh from Pittsburgh is flying to Los Angeles to watch at Universal CityWalk, citing a lifelong passion for film projection.
