Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey became India’s highest-grossing IMAX opener, collecting over Rs 18 crore from 34 IMAX screens in four days and surpassing Mission: Impossible despite a limited premium-screen release.

Why this matters

The result follows a recent signal that The Odyssey arrives in true IMAX 15/70mm, although no Indian screen can project the format, showing strong demand for IMAX despite format constraints.

Footfall is steady at 423 signals over the past 90 days; no quarter-over-quarter change was provided.
