The Odyssey has accomplished the unthinkable, making history with its worldwide IMAX earnings. It stands as the first movie ever to reach this major milestone at the IMAX box office, firmly establishing Christopher Nolan as the king of IMAX. Its total is already approximately $230 million higher than the entire theatrical run of the previous IMAX record holder, Avatar. Read on for all the details.
The feature has surpassed the $600 million mark at the North American box office. Due to its unprecedented performance, its IMAX run has been extended through the end of September in multiple markets. This cinematic magnum opus has also emerged as Universal’s highest-grossing film globally and is on pace to soon enter the all-time top 10 worldwide box office hits.
The Odyssey crosses $500 million in IMAX screenings
Drawing from the latest report by box office analyst Luiz Fernando, The Odyssey brought in a strong $14.6 million during its 9th weekend from global IMAX screenings alone. This sum includes an overseas total of $290.9 million and a domestic total of $215.2 million, pushing its worldwide IMAX earnings past the $500 million threshold for a cumulative global IMAX total of $506.1 million.

It remains the sole film in history to hit the $500 million milestone globally on IMAX screens, outpacing Avatar—the former all-time highest-grossing film on IMAX—by an estimated $230 million. The mythological epic still has several weeks left in IMAX theaters to add to its tally, making it a difficult record for any upcoming release to challenge.
