Summary
£219,867 in three days made The Odyssey the biggest opening weekend ever at London’s BFI Imax, the top-grossing Imax venue in both the U.K. and international markets on July 17-19.
That total edged past Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s 2017 record of £216,454, while Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer now ranks third at £207,677.
82,000-plus admissions have already generated £2.17 million at the single-screen venue, with 94% occupancy across all showtimes currently on sale.
173 consecutive Imax 70mm screenings over eight weeks have sold out, drawing moviegoers from Singapore, Los Angeles and Toronto as BFI Imax plans to add more dates.
