The Odyssey sets Australian IMAX record

Meanwhile, The Odyssey has reached $52.8 million at the Australian box office from 2.3 million admissions.

It has also become the first film to generate more than $10 million from IMAX screenings at the Australian box office.

Val Morgan Cinema managing director Guy Burbidge said the results showed the strength of the current cinema market.

“These are exactly the kinds of results that show why brands want to be part of Cinema. The numbers are extraordinary. Having Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey both dominating screens at once has created a real buzz around just how strong the industry is right now, and there's even more to come as cinema heats up to its hottest summer on record.

“Come December, Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three won't just share a release date, they'll share audiences on the same day. It won't be a question of what to see, it'll be which one to see first. With The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Digger, The Social Reckoning and Focker In-Law still to come this year, cinema is popping, and momentum shows no signs of slowing down."
