What was the reported cost of The Odyssey’s 2026 film stock alone?

The reported cost of The Odyssey’s 2026 film stock alone was approximately $3 million. The production exposed more than two million feet of 15-perf 65mm negative while shooting the epic entirely with IMAX film cameras.

The negative was developed and processed at FotoKem in Burbank, California, described as the last laboratory producing 70mm prints. The figure covers the film stock itself, not the complete production budget, visual effects, cast, locations, post-production, or marketing campaign.

The film’s estimated production budget was $250 million, so the stock represented only one part of the total cost. Its unusually high quantity resulted from Nolan’s decision to pursue large-format photochemical photography across a demanding worldwide shoot.
