Toxic debacle impact: The Odyssey storms back into | Indian Movie News
On August 26, Bollywood Hungama reported that The Odyssey’s exhibits had been taken out of IMAX screens after a historic 40-day run in order to accommodate Yash-starrer Toxic. The Odyssey constantly drew audiences and managed to gather a report Rs. 90 crores, that too from just 34 IMAX screens. Remarkably, the movie continued to register encouraging occupancy proper until the end of its run. As a end result, our report was widely shared and mentioned, sending shockwaves among followers.
It has now come to mild that due to the underperformance of Toxic, The Odyssey has been introduced back to all IMAX screens in the nation, besides Bengaluru. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Even on its last day, The Odyssey ran with 43% occupancy, which was unbelievable. It proved that there was a lot of gas left in the tank. Warner Bros, which distributed The Odyssey, asked for just one show in IMAX, considering the continued demand, from August 26. Sadly, the demand was not accepted as the distributors of Toxic were clear that they wanted all shows in IMAX.”
The source continued, “But since Toxic had not worked as expected, the IMAX theatres were allowed to bring back The Odyssey. It was expected that, if at all this happened, it would happen next week or after a fortnight. No one imagined that The Odyssey would be back in just two days.”
Earlier today, cinemas like Cinepolis Seawoods and Cinepolis Thane close to Mumbai, Cinepolis Aundh in Pune, PVR Palazzo and Inox Luxe in Chennai, and Cinepolis Centre Square in Kochi programmed exhibits of The Odyssey from today, August 28. Within a few hours, a number of more theatres joined in, including Mumbai’s PVR Lower Parel, Inox R City, Maison Inox, Miraj Wadala and Eros. PVR Lower Parel and Cinepolis Seawoods will screen two exhibits of The Odyssey, while Delhi’s IMAX cinemas have also come on board with one show each of the Matt Damon-starrer. Cinepolis Aundh and Inox Megaplex in Pune, along with Inox Megaplex in Lucknow, will screen one show today before growing it to two from tomorrow. Rajhans Surat and Inox South City Kolkata will also play two exhibits, while PVR Palladium will screen one show of the Hollywood hit.
Meanwhile, Broadway Cinemas in Coimbatore never discontinued The Odyssey. It was the only IMAX cinema in India to continue taking part in the movie even after August 26, and it should continue to screen two exhibits. Bengaluru, meanwhile, stays the only centre in India where IMAX screens will continue to play Toxic without accommodating The Odyssey, at least until the weekend.
It is also important to observe that on August 26, Toxic recorded 51.6% occupancy in IMAX, while The Odyssey registered 48.7%. On Thursday, August 27, Toxic’s occupancy dropped sharply to 17.4%, while The Odyssey remained regular at 37.6%.
It now stays to be seen whether or not The Odyssey can cross the Rs. 100 crore mark now that it’s back in IMAX.
