The Odyssey Effect: How China's Cinema Landscape is Being Rewritten by Christopher Nolan Christopher Nolan's impending release of "The Odyssey" in mainland China has sent shockwaves through the country's cinema landscape, with Imax China preparing to dedicate a significant portion of its nearly 800 screen network to the film.
CEO Daniel Manwaring attributes this enthusiasm to the "Christopher Nolan effect," citing it as the primary reason behind his optimism for the August 14 release.
Nolan's enduring popularity in China is no isolated incident. His cult following among local audiences has been building over time, with each successive film contributing to his reputation as a master filmmaker.
