IMAX Debuts

Academy screenings of “The Odyssey” opened in Los Angeles, London and New York, presented in 70mm, 35mm and IMAX.
IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond said it is the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
The film earned a $264.1 million worldwide opening and attracted strong Gen Z attendance, which analysts say may sway Oscar voters.
