The Odyssey will stay in IMAX 70mm for an extra month after strong ticket demand pushed the premium-format rollout beyond its original schedule. The film had initially been set to play in IMAX 70mm in New York and Los Angeles through Aug. 19.
The extension follows a surge in interest that reportedly led some screenings to sell out as much as seven weeks in advance. That level of demand has kept attention on the movie's large-format presentation, which is often treated as a special draw for moviegoers seeking a more immersive theatrical experience.
By adding another month to the IMAX 70mm run, distributors are giving audiences more chances to see The Odyssey in one of the most sought-after cinema formats. The move also signals that premium large-format screenings remain a major factor for high-profile releases when advance sales are especially strong.
For theaters in New York and Los Angeles, the expanded run means The Odyssey will continue occupying premium screens longer than first planned. With early sellouts driving the decision, the extended engagement underscores how quickly demand built for the film's IMAX 70mm showings.
