It increased quite a bit from already insane OS hold !!! Let us see how this weekend goes. Would Grand Turismo take away Imax in some markets? Otherwise I am not sure what is the ceiling on existing markets. Can it go as high as 500m !!!

It seems to be down to one IMAX showing at my nearest cinema here in North London

At least at BFI its losing just 1 show to GT. I was speaking more globally than anecdotal data. We will find out with next weekend update.

This has to be the craziest performance of the year.

It is very very unexpected the least IMAX-worthy Nolan's film since the Prestige turns out to be his biggest IMAX grosser. I personally find Roma to be more IMAX-worthy than Oppenheimer as a drama. 

 

Oppenheimer's IMAX gross is simply beyond words. It is doing some crazy IMAX BO that even a $2bn movie like NWH, TFA or IW couldn't match despite overall grossing below $1bn. The IMAX reliance is on the next level.

 

With this level of insanity, I am not sure why isn't IMAX pushing for more 70mm locations. There could be even some resurgence of traditional 35mm/70mm film non-IMAX, which I believe could be a way for cinema to stay competitive against streaming.

There's not much of a point when like 5 wide releases a year are filmed in film.

Didn't an auditorium have the flexibility to switch between digital and film? 

[keysersoze123]

There are screens which can do dual laser and 70mm. Issue is having projectionist who can do 70mm film. That need training

Jawan will be taking IMAX from it, unless GT does before that.

When is Jawan is releasing and will it have global impact. I doubt Bollywood movies open in all Imaxes in big markets. May be a show or 2. if you are talking about India that will happen for sure.

Avatar 1 did ₹7cr  with ₹250 tickets in an IMAX screen. Ran for 9 months.

Well the first Avatar made $243m in IMAX from just 249 IMAX screens around the world when there wasn't even a $100m IMAX movie on the record book back in 2009, not even TDK hit $100m in IMAX. The sequel made $256m although IMAX screens has since jumped to 1543 screens. Clearly the more IMAX screens doesn't translate to bigger IMAX gross here because first Avatar pushed the market boundary too too far ahead of its time. Also doesn't help is that the diversification of PLF in the past decade. IMAX is no longer the sole PLF in the market, we have Dolby, Screen X, 4DX, Onyx, and countless local branded Big screen, surely those create some distraction o IMAX moviegoers. 

 

Also, who is telling you A2 made 24 cr in IMAX? What made that person a more trustworthy or accurate source than the website?

I think there's also the fact that it just costs a lot for cinemas to upgrade and the level of demand still isn't quite up to pre-COVID numbers. Plus a lot of cinemas are probably still recovering from the financial hit from pandemic.

It all depends on SK, China and legs once it starts losing IMAX. Very likely for it to pass Inception and it does have a very real chance of passing Bohemian Rhapsody, though...

We wont know until what it does in China. Plus there is Italy where I am hoping for Spain or better number. I am also expecting it to open in Japan at some point. Its not a country to ban movies however controversial. 

 

Breaking down

Current Markets

450-500m?

Italy - 20m

Korea - 40m-70m

China - ?

Japan - ?

Vietnam/Greece/Bosnia - 10m total?

 

Its hard to hone in on final number as of today. I am hoping for 1B WW 🙂

 

 

[Valonqar]

@keysersoze123 @reddevil19 Oh wow those numbers would be absolutely insane! Rn I'm just happy it passed Elemental which I hope does not have a shot at those numbers. 

[Bob Train]

China probably needs 70-100m+ to keep billion dream alive. Right now I am expecting Rise of Gru scenario where it underwhelms in China, ending around 940-950.
