Overview
- Citing KOFIC’s weekend chart, The Odyssey reached 10,027,997 admissions in South Korea as of Sunday, marking its fifth consecutive week at No. 1.
- Strong demand for premium formats helped the run as more than 1.1 million South Korean moviegoers saw the film in IMAX, surpassing the local IMAX record set by Avatar: The Way of Water.
- Industry trackers place the film’s worldwide total at roughly $1.63 billion and report about $486 million from IMAX screenings, figures described as industry estimates rather than final studio accounting.
- The film’s IMAX- and 70mm-first production and a staggered global rollout, including later openings in China, Japan and extended IMAX engagements, drove higher per-ticket revenue and repeat viewings.
- Exhibitors are prioritizing premium-format engagements and Universal plans a delayed home release after an extended theatrical window, a shift that could sustain late-run revenue for event films.
