IMAX Demand Reaches New Heights
One of the greatest achievements of the movie is the amazing box office numbers recorded through the IMAX platform. Reports have it that The Odyssey has recorded the sale of 92,000+ tickets for its opening weekend via IMAX screens in India. This has brought a gross total of nearly Rs 9.55 crores.
Nothing comes as a surprise considering that The Odyssey has been filmed using only IMAX cameras. Christopher Nolan’s movies have always provided some of the best visuals in cinema, and this has also attracted many people.
Opening Day Box Office Collection Could Surpass Rs. 20 Crore
According to trade experts, The Odyssey is likely to record box office collections ranging from Rs. 17 crore to Rs. 18 crore on the day of its release. In case there is a further increase in advance booking just prior to its release, it can easily surpass the Rs. 20 crore mark.
It would be worthwhile to note that Nolan’s recent blockbuster Oppenheimer had recorded an opening day gross of Rs. 14.45 crore following the sale of close to 2 lakh tickets in advance.
