‘The Odyssey’ Imax run could end sooner than fans think

The Korea Herald reports that Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' is facing potential early removal from Imax screens in South Korea due to the country's screen quota system. The film, which was shot entirely with Imax cameras, has seen significant demand, particularly at CGV Yongsan, the largest Imax screen in Asia. As of Friday, the Imax screen at CGV Yongsan had already used 35 days of its required 73-day quota for Korean films, leaving only 38 days. With upcoming major releases like 'Dune: Part Three' and 'Avengers: Doomsday,' local media suggest 'The Odyssey' may stay in theaters for only about two more months. Industry supporters call for reforming the quota system to count Korean film screenings across entire theaters rather than individual screens, while some experts warn this change could negatively impact access to specialized screens for Korean films.
