Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic will return to theaters on December 11.
Universal Pictures announced the rerelease will cover more than 1,000 screens across North America. The film will be available in all formats, including IMAX and IMAX 70mm.
The movie previously held an extended run in 70mm IMAX during September. It now reopens just as the awards season intensifies. Industry observers expect the film to be considered for Academy Award nominations.
Since its July 17 opening, the film has earned $626 million in domestic ticket sales. Its global box office total stands at $1.8 billion.
It is the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX cameras. It also holds the record for the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, who spends ten years traveling home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.
The cast also includes Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. The plot follows Odysseus’s struggle to reach his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus, who defends their home from rival suitors.
