The Story So Far
Add as a preferred source on Google For 40 days, The Odyssey had a historic turn at the 34 IMAX cinemas of India. The movie performed strongly even in the normal cinemas but in IMAX, the earnings were rock-solid even after the movie entered its sixth week. Sadly, this unbelievable run will now come to a halt, thanks to the arrival of Toxic, starring Yash, on August 26.
A source explained the publication, “Toxic is carrying tremendous buzz and moreover, it is an IMAX arrival. Hence, its distributors asked for all the IMAX shows. However, the turn of The Odyssey is at another level.
Even after so many days and weeks, several shows across the country are going house-full. In fact, on Tuesday, August 25, the last day of the movie in IMAX, the shows were running with tremendous occupancy. Of course, the discounted rates played a part.
But when viewers are turning up in such large numbers on the 40th day, it is a feat.” The source continued, “This proves that there’s a lot of gas left in the tank. Warner Bros, which distributed The Odyssey, asked for just one show in IMAX, considering the continued demand, from August 26. Sadly, the demand was not accepted as the distributors of Toxic were clear that they wanted all shows in IMAX.” The silver lining is that the IMAX major screen at Broadway Cinemas in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, has proved to be an exception.
From August 26, it will continue to play two shows of The Odyssey, at 11:30 am and 11:00 pm. Toxic, meanwhile, will be showcased at 7:40 am, 3:10 pm and 7:05 pm. The Odyssey box office turn in India The Odyssey has minted around Rs.
184.23 crores in 40 days in India. Interestingly, its collections from IMAX alone stand at nearly Rs. In other words, nearly 50% of the movie’s India collections have come from the IMAX format.
Out of its 40-day run so far, The Odyssey minted more than Rs. 1 crore on as many as 33 days. On August 25, the last day of its full-fledged IMAX run, the movie minted Rs.
71 lakhs from IMAX alone, while its collections across all formats stood at around Rs. The occupancy across IMAX shows on August 25 was an impressive 43%. An industry insider commented, “Had The Odyssey been allowed even one show on each IMAX major screen, it had the potential to cross the Rs.
100 crore mark from IMAX alone. It would have been a record difficult to beat for years to come.” The insider also disclosed, “Maybe, after a week or two, The Odyssey may make a return in IMAX. In that case, it still has a shot at earning Rs.
At the same time, once a movie goes out of IMAX, there is always a risk of its momentum getting broken.” The 40-day collections of The Odyssey in the IMAX format Catch us for latest Bollywood News, fresh Bollywood Movies update, box office numbers, fresh Movies arrival, Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & highly anticipated Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on the publication.
