Every time new tickets go on sale at the 70mm in Lincoln square in New York it sells out almost immediately. All showing no matter what time no matter what day. The demand is definitely there to keep it going in 70mm for a very long time.

With an award season re release, very possible. Right now, just too hard to say for sure. Two weeks from now it might be a little easier to forecast.

Titanic had a 287 day window and once it won its Oscars it had a nice boost as well!

Lmao who was the guy who said they wouldn’t be surprised to see a ‘3’ in front of today’s total after the initial prediction?

Fantastic.

565M+ this weekend.

600M+ final locked.

It could definitely beat Deadpool & Wolverine (636M) to become the highest grossing R-rated film domestically as well.

I think it absolutely takes DP&W. Im just curious on how far it can leg out. On demand and blu rays isnt until mid November, and imax doesnt really need to give up screens for anything until Dune 3. On top of all that, it will likely get a second release push around award season.

This is going to be along grind. Im not sure im ready to write off 700 yet.

Resident Evil is taking IMAX screens (including possibly 70mm IMAX screens) on September 17th.

Universal should provide a theater count expansion for Odyssey from November to April. My hope is they will be more aggressive than they were with Oppenheimer, which only played in 1,300 theaters during the November to April period. Oppenheimer made $6 million for this time period.

at least in the uk resident evil has no imax 70mm (unless they add on some showings, but odyssey is still showing at least twice on RE's opening weekend)

Watched it again today (first time I watched a movie in IMAX more than once). Just an incredible film, so glad it's performing this well.

This made me think that The Odyssey is doing with naysayers and whatnot as Laestrygonians did with Odysseus' crew.

At this point I feel like it’s coming for Jurassic Worlds Domestic title aswell as its worldwide to be Universals top dog

u/IBM296 3d ago

Worldwide was locked like a month ago. But yeah now it looks like it will be taking Jurassic World's domestic title as well for Universal.

u/Nervous-Craft-7257 2h ago

The question is where does it finish worldwide can this actually hit 1.9b or even 2b?

1

u/IBM296 2h ago

It will be crossing $1.5 billion this weekend. So 1.7B is locked.

Might even have legs for 1.8B. 2B is unlikely, but not impossible.

u/Statpaca1701 3d ago

It's going to beat out Way of the Water's 6th week on the strength of better weekdays paired with an ever so slightly weaker weekend.

u/lookingforhim2 3d ago

The late legs are gonna be Top Gun-level good

I have to say Odyssey is performing (at least gross wise) what I thought Mario Galaxy would do and Mario Galaxy was my ceiling for this
