📍 Where it landed

The Imax release date for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in North America was announced. "The Odyssey" would end its exclusive Imax run to make way for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in Imax theaters.

Epilogue added 12d ago, after coverage quieted.

The brief

This schedule adjustment concludes the exclusive run of 'The Odyssey' in those specific venues. Variety, Yahoo, The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, and Deadline confirm that Imax will transition its screen availability to accommodate the new title.

While some reporting suggests a complete replacement, The Hollywood Reporter notes that the film will share screen time with 'The Odyssey' rather than fully displacing it. Forbes observes that this release could represent a significant shift for the ScreenX format, though specific operational details are not yet provided.

Industry participants now await the weekend rollout to observe how the shared screen distribution functions in practice. Current information does not confirm the precise number of North American theaters participating in the split-run arrangement or the exact duration of the shared scheduling period.
