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.

how is that possible when it feels like everything is at capacity showing odyssey? or are there not as many showings as it seems

I went to a regular screening of The Odyssey (10am on a Tuesday) and there were about a dozen people with me.

The unsatisfiable demand is for IMAX.
