IMAX Corporation reaffirmed its full-year 2026 global box office target of $1.4 billion, citing record-breaking results from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The film delivered a $52 million global opening weekend for IMAX, the biggest in company history on a like-for-like basis, capturing a 20 percent share of the worldwide debut on less than 1 percent of total screens. Second-quarter revenue rose 12 percent year-over-year to $103 million, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.43, up 65 percent, and adjusted EBITDA of $48 million at a nearly 47 percent margin. The company signed agreements for 62 new and upgraded IMAX systems year-to-date and installed 38 systems in the second quarter, while also noting strong demand for Odyssey-themed merchandise. Management expressed confidence in the second-half slate, anchored by The Odyssey and Dune Part Three, and maintained its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $160 million to $175 million.
