Universal Pictures announced Tuesday that Christopher Nolan’s feature film adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey” will return to IMAX theaters and 70mm screens this month.
Screenings in select IMAX theaters begin Friday.
The epic film, starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland, has grossed $1.76 billion worldwide since its release in July. It topped the $1.67 billion set by “Jurassic World” in 2015 to become Universal’s highest-grossing film — a mark it reached in its ninth weekend in theaters.

It also set a career best for Mr. Nolan, a record for the highest-grossing R-rated movie and a record for the highest-grossing film in the IMAX format.
“The Odyssey” is the first film that is not a sequel or remake since “Avatar” in early 2010 to gross more than $1 billion in the global box office.
