The Odyssey Pushes IMAX Toward a Record-Breaking Year
Christopher Nolan and Universal’s The Odyssey is driving IMAX toward a record $1.4 billion in global box office this year, prompting stock gains and a push to expand screens. The film opened with about $52 million globally in IMAX (roughly 20% of its worldwide debut) as IMAX logged 38 installations in Q2 and aims for 160–175 by the end of 2026, with a 421-contract backlog. A strong upcoming slate—Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dune: Part Three, Godzilla Minus One, Resident Evil, Digger, Cliff Booth, Street Fighter—signals continued momentum for IMAX’s theater network.”,
