The Odyssey officially opened in China on Friday, quickly becoming one of the hottest tickets of the summer movie season, with moviegoers scrambling for premium IMAX screenings and some even traveling to other cities for better viewing experiences with better screens.
Meanwhile, domestic hit
Once Upon a Time in the Middle East has grossed more than 850 million yuan ($126 million), adding to the intense competition for audiences during China's packed summer movie season.
The Odyssey, which had already held limited previews in China, had grossed an estimated 240 million yuan as of Sunday, according to ticketing platform Maoyan. Its projected box office is expected to surpass 700 million yuan, potentially exceeding the 452million yuan
Oppenheimer grossed in the Chinese mainland.
The Odyssey is the first feature film shot entirely using IMAX cameras and is being presented in IMAX 70mm at select theaters. Its large-format cinematography and expansive visual style have made the IMAX experience a major selling point for Chinese moviegoers.
Demand for premium IMAX screenings was already intense during the film's previews, with some theaters reporting full occupancy. After its official release, that enthusiasm has shown no sign of easing.
In Beijing, one longtime Nolan fan had been following the film since before its release and had repeatedly tried to secure a seat at the China National Film Museum's IMAX GT theater, one of the most sought-after formats for the movie.
Unable to get a ticket, the moviegoer eventually chose another well-reviewed IMAX theater and paid 180 yuan for a seat, three times the price of a normal seat, that was not particularly well positioned.
The theater was nearly full when the audience arrived, the moviegoers were largely quiet as they waited for the screening to begin. But the large-format presentation delivered the immersive audiovisual experience the audience had been anticipating.
Another moviegoer, Lin Xiao, managed to attend an IMAX screening during the previews and also noted the high attendance. She told the Global Times that audiences had already formed a long line outside the theater before the movie began.
On Chinese lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, or RedNote, some moviegoers have posted about traveling to other cities because their hometowns do not have IMAX GT screenings. Some have even taken high-speed trains specifically to watch
The Odyssey in what they consider a better theater.
Zhang Peng, a cultural researcher and associate professor at Nanjing Normal University, told the Global Times that
The Odyssey's strong reception and high attendance in China demonstrate that high-quality content, combined with the rare and highly immersive experience offered by premium formats such as IMAX GT, remains a key competitive advantage for cinemas.
The film's strong quality, coupled with its cutting-edge large-format presentation, creates a theatrical experience that cannot be easily replicated at home, showing that when cinemas can offer a sufficiently distinctive immersive experience, the big screen retains its unique social and ceremonial appeal, with audiences willing to pay a premium for such exclusivity, said Zhang.
However, film critic Liu Nandou offered a restrained forecast, predicting its Chinese mainland gross at 300 million to 800 million yuan ($41 million to $110 million).
"Nolan's films have a ceiling," he told the Global Times in a previous interview. "The threshold for understanding
The Odyssey is extremely high, and it doesn't fit the broad popcorn audience."
The appeal of premium formats is not limited to
The Odyssey. Several films in China's summer movie season have also embraced IMAX and other high-end formats, giving audiences more options for immersive theatrical experiences.
Once Upon a Time in the Middle East, which has grossed more than 850 million yuan at the box office and is projected to surpass 2.5 billion yuan, according to Maoyan, was specially shot for IMAX.
Rather than relying on grand battle scenes, the film is set almost entirely in a small Chinese restaurant in war-torn Iraq in 2003. Played by Shen Teng, Xu Fu is a chef looking to make a living abroad and find a quiet life. But when war suddenly erupts, he and restaurant manager Ma Junsheng, played by Jiang Qiming, choose to keep the kitchen running, serving authentic Chinese dishes and creating a safe haven for local civilians and children amid the chaos.
The film uses IMAX's large screen to present the warmth of everyday life and the details of the restaurant with greater clarity and immersion.
The Odyssey, meanwhile, uses IMAX film cameras to bring the epic scale of Homer's poem to the big screen with sweeping and visually striking imagery. All Wishes Come True! is also available in premium formats including IMAX, Dolby and CINITY, using enhanced audiovisual technology to amplify its visual effects and emotional atmosphere and help drive box-office growth, according to China's state media CCTV.
As more films made for premium formats continue to draw audiences, high-end theaters equipped with IMAX, CINITY and other technologies are seeing increased demand, giving moviegoers a wider range of viewing options.
Film industry experts said audiences are no longer satisfied simply with being able to watch a movie, but increasingly want to "watch a good movie" and "experience a film in an immersive environment."
。 부산도시철도 1호선 45편성 차량이 26일 관계자들의 박수를 받으며 노포차량기지로 들어오고 있다. 부산교통공사 제공“이 열차는 이번 운행을 끝으로 역사 속으로 사라집니다. 29년간 출퇴근과 일상을 함께해온 부산시민 여러분께 감사드리며, 여러분의 추억 속에서 오래 기억되기를 바랍니다.”이병진 부산교통공사 사장이 26일 오전 10시45분 부산도시철도 1호선 45편성 열차의 종착역인 노포역 도착 직전 안내 방송을 내보냈다.방송이 나오자 첫째 칸에 탑승한 승객들이 일제히 박수와 환호를 보냈다. “고마워” “고생했다” 격려의 말이 터져나오기도 했다. 누군가는 눈시울을 붉혔다. 부산도시철도 1호선 최후의 구형 전동차 ‘45편성’은 승객들의 뜨거운 환호 속에 마지막 영업운행을 무사히 마쳤다.45편성 전동차는 1997년 6월25일 상업운행을 시작해 29년 동안 부산 1호선을 달렸다. 운행 거리는 약 300만㎞, 지구를 75바퀴 돌 수 있는 거리다.운전은 1997년 같은 해에 입사한 구재민 기관사가 맡았다. 추첨을 통해 선발된 시민 10여명이 열차에 함께 올라탔다. 공사 관계자는 “신청자만 700명이 넘었다. 이렇게 반응이 뜨거울지 예상하지 못했다”며 “안전관리 때문에 참석자를 늘릴 순 없었다”고 말했다.45편성은 평소 속도의 절반 수준(시속 25㎞ 내외)으로 부산대역에 들어왔다. 열차 첫번째 객실은 전국에서 45편성의 마지막 운행을 보려는 철도·열차 마니아들로 가득 찼다.시민 임일란씨(30대)는 “어릴 적 범어사역 인근에 살면서 중고등학교와 대학교 때 매일같이 1호선을 이용했다”며 “그 추억이 생각나 지인들과 신청했는데 혼자 선정됐다. 1호선은 도심지를 달리는 야외구간이 있어 아들도 좋아한다”고 말했다.45편성의 퇴역으로 부산도시철도 1호선에서 구형 전동차는 완전히 사라진다. 다음달 1일부터 부산도시철도 1호선의 전동차는 모두 2017년 이후 도입한 것이다. 부산시와 부산교통공사는 2017년 1단계 40칸(5개 편성)을 시작으로 약 4300억원을 들여 구형 열차 교체 작업을 진행했다. 1호선을 다니는 전동차는 다대포선을 포함해 모두 51개 편성이다. 부산도시철도 2호선도 내년 5월부터 본격적인 구형 전동차 교체 사업이 진행된다. 2호선 전동차는 1999년부터 2002년까지 순차적으로 도입됐다.신형 차량은 객실 의자 폭이 450㎜로 구형 차량(430㎜)보다 넓다. 1량에 폐쇄회로(CC)TV를 2~3대 갖추고 있으며, 조명도 기존 삼파장 형광등이 아니라 LED가 설치된다.이병진 사장은 “45편성을 포함한 구형 전동차는 국내 최초 스테인리스 차체와 자동운전 시스템을 적용해 도시철도 기술 발전을 이끌어왔다”며 “많은 이들의 기억 속에 오래 남아 있으면 좋겠다”고 말했다.。
