**Strong sustained demand for the rare IMAX 70mm presentation continues to drive trader consensus toward another extension of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey run.** The film, the first shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, opened July 17 and quickly sold out weeks ahead at the limited number of venues equipped for 15-perf 70mm projection—only about 25 screens in the U.S. Following an initial extension announced July 30 that pushed the run from mid-August to September 16, multiple theaters have added shows or extended locally amid ongoing sell-outs and high advance sales. This mirrors the pattern seen with Oppenheimer, which received multiple extensions and later returns in the format due to audience appetite for the expanded aspect ratio and unmatched image quality. With the current deadline approaching and no major competing releases immediately displacing the screens, market-implied odds reflect expectations that exhibitors will again accommodate demand before yielding the premium slots.
