EXCLUSIVE: As the rolling process of cinema reopenings continues across various markets, IMAX has recently enjoyed strong grosses with local-language movies in Asia as well as the reissue of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar in China. This week in the Middle Kingdom, it’s set to have a particularly vibrant frame with war epic The Eight Hundred. Already, from five days of previews, the film, which is the first Asian release entirely shot with IMAX cameras, has grossed about $33M. There are more than 600 IMAX theaters operating with only one show of the film per day during sneaks and they have contributed about 7% of the total gross so far. The screenings have been 65% full, at the current capacity limitation of 50%, which is 2.5 times the attendance for the non-IMAX/standard auditoriums. IMAX Corp CEO Rich Gelfond is bullish on the future.
