Anyone else think The Odyssey could become the best-selling 4K Blu-ray of all time?

Since The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film, I'm pretty confident we'll get a full 16:9 presentation throughout the 4K Blu-ray, judging by Nolan's previous releases.

I think that alone would make a lot of people want to own it on disc, especially those with OLED TVs and home theater setups.

Anyone else think it has a shot at becoming the best-selling 4K Blu-ray of all time? Or am I overestimating how many people actually care about the IMAX aspect ratio?

In the future (50 years or a century from now), could IMAX replace projectors with giant digital displays?

I've been wondering about the future of premium cinema.

Right now, IMAX 70mm is arguably the highest-quality theatrical format, while IMAX Laser is still projection-based (albeit excellent projection).

Do you think there will ever be a point where giant self-emissive displays (like MicroLED, or whatever succeeds it) become practical enough to replace projectors entirely for IMAX-sized screens?

I'm not talking about today's technology or costs—I mean 50–100 years from now. Imagine a wall-sized display with perfect blacks, HDR, incredible brightness, and resolutions well beyond 8K (16K, 32K, or higher) that could match or exceed the image quality of projection.

Or do you think projection will always remain the best solution for screens that large?

Curious to hear what people think, especially those who know the technical side of cinema projection.

Will Nolan use IMAX for all of his future films, even if they're smaller in scale?

I've been wondering about this after *Oppenheimer* and *The Odyssey*.

Nolan has pushed IMAX technology further than any filmmaker, and his recent films seem to be increasingly built around the format. But it made me wonder: do you think he'll continue shooting every film with IMAX cameras from now on, even if the story doesn't have massive action sequences or huge visual spectacle?

For example, if he decided to make another dialogue-heavy thriller or something more intimate like *Memento*, *Insomnia*, or even *The Prestige*, would he still find a way to use IMAX? Or do you think he'd go back to shooting on 65mm or another format if it better suited the story?

I'm also curious whether you think Nolan will ever return to making smaller-scale films. Not necessarily lower budget, but films that don't rely on giant set pieces or spectacle. Or has his filmmaking evolved to the point where IMAX has become an essential part of how he tells stories?

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.

Would anyone else love to see this at the end of a Christopher Nolan film?

Vince Gilligan ends every Pluribus episode with a simple line: "This show was made by humans."

I thought it was a surprisingly powerful statement. Not because AI can't be useful, but because it celebrates the hundreds of artists, craftspeople, performers, editors, designers, and crew members who bring a film to life.

Christopher Nolan has always emphasized practical filmmaking, in-camera effects, film photography, and the value of human craftsmanship. A simple end-credit note like "This film was made by humans." feels like something that would fit his philosophy.

I know Nolan has never done this, but would you like to see it in one of his future films, or do you think the work should speak for itself?
