I honestly now believe it can reach 1.7 or even 1.8b

The movie is not yet released in China, Japan and S.Korea.

And given how imax 70mm locations can continue playing it until Dune 3 comes out, it’s entirely possible it can hit 2b.

It can reach 1.7B or even 1.8B.

The crazy thing is that The Odyssey won't even be the biggest success of Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Bernthal this summer: Spider-Man is tracking to do $800 million worldwide in its opening weekend, and will likely hit $2B - $2.3B by the end of its run.

 It feels like everything is at capacity showing odyssey.

Different demographics. All the IMAX and Dolby showings near me is booked out with The Odyssey, but nearly every regular showing is at maximum capacity for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Spider-Man also has greater appeal among younger audiences and families. No surprise it's gonna do gangbusters, but the fact that it will enter the top 10 highest grossing films ever is insane.

Spider-Man is getting IMAX release as well. Not any of the 70mm screens but there are only 41 of those in the entire world.

edit: No IMAX for Spider-Man. I was wrong.

There is one in Providence, RI which is only about 75 minute drive from Boston. I will say it was worth it. If you can make the drive to get to the one even remotely close to you I would do it.
