Odyssey revenue at IMAX locations reached roughly $400 million, surpassing the previous Avatar record of $270 million.

Global theaters grew by 38 in Q2 to 1,809, supported by Dune: Part Three and other tentpole titles, while China remains a key but challenging growth driver.
View signal analysisIMAX reports July box office of $257 million, with Odyssey contributing $221 million in IMAX receipts, the fastest to clear $200 million globally. The film was shot entirely on IMAX 70mm and has limited US availability (25 theaters), which may amplify demand as China, Japan and Korea launches approach. CEO Rich Gelfond says the trajectory could shatter IMAX box-office records.

With only 25 U.S. theaters able to show 70mm and AMC's app enabling digital ticket queues, the segment could sustain higher per-ticket pricing and attendance in the near term. The move underscores IMAX's pricing power in its premium formats and may support stock sensitivity to premium-format demand over the next few quarters.

With 25 U.S. and 16 international venues, the format commands a sizable price premium (opening weekend average $27.77, roughly 81% above the overall average).
