Summer Box Office to Hit $4B as Spider-Man, Odyssey Smash Records
IMAX has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $24.2.
Summary
The domestic summer box office is on track to cross $4 billion by Monday, 22% above last year, driven by record-breaking performances from Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. Spider-Man added $145 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $655.1 million, while The Odyssey has grossed $461.2 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide, including $289.3 million on IMAX screens. This follows IMAX's highest-grossing month ever in July and record Q2 results, reinforcing the premium format's outsized benefit from blockbuster demand. The sustained box office strength suggests continued upside for IMAX's network revenue and system installations.
