Tickets for the initial IMAX 70mm showings of Dune: Part Three and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey sold out incredibly quickly, and the fact that they were available a year in advance has generated a lot of attention.

However, this quick sell-out seems to be part of a concerning pattern. If other studios replicate this approach, we might see the same issues with ticket reselling that plague the concert industry extend to movie tickets.
