REVEALED: NO IMAX release for Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day as Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey EXCLUSIVELY blocks IMAX screens for 3 weeks
Spider-Man movies have traditionally enjoyed an IMAX release, but Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day might be an exception. As of now, bookings have opened only in PXL, 4DX, ScreenX, Marco XE and other such premium formats. A user asked within the comments section of the film’s trailer, posted by Sony Pictures India, whether Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day would release in IMAX. Sony confirmed, “No IMAX release for Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day in India, however the film might be available in premium large-format (PLF) screens for an epic big-screen experience”.
As expected, this development has dampened the joy of fans to some extent. A source explained that this has happened since the superhero film is releasing just two weeks after Christopher Nolan’s period epic. The source told Bollywood Hungama, “The Odyssey is the primary film to be shot entirely on IMAX’s 70mm film cameras. Hence, the film will obviously get preferential treatment within the IMAX format. Accordingly, all IMAX screens the world over, including in India, will exclusively play The Odyssey for 3 weeks.”
The source added, “After three weeks, depending on the response, IMAX theatres will take a call on whether to retain the shows of The Odyssey or reduce them. But when one goes by the performance of Nolan’s last film, Oppenheimer (2023), in IMAX, there’s a slim probability that IMAX screens would cut back the shows of The Odyssey. It’s common knowledge that watching a Nolan film in IMAX is a must. Hence, The Odyssey is predicted to proceed playing in IMAX for a lot of weeks successfully. In such a scenario, Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day would obviously lose out on getting an IMAX release.”
Thankfully, it hasn’t affected the hype for the film much. The source added, “Fans have already began booking tickets for Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day in other formats like PXL, ScreenX, 4DX, Marco XE and other premium formats, which also enhance the moviegoing experience. They’ve also understood that Nolan’s movies require IMAX screens for a lot of weeks.”
Interestingly, Spider-Man: Brand Latest Day isn’t the one Marvel film to lose out on IMAX. Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled to release later in December, can be expected to skip an IMAX release in several markets, because it clashes with Dune: Part Three. In reality, Disney announced earlier this yr that it is going to introduce a brand new PLF certification called ‘Infinity Vision’ to screen its multi-starrer superhero film.
