Premium audiences boost IMAX China share
Premium formats grew 16% year-over-year while regular auditoriums were flat; IMAX's China market share reached just under 6% and about $110 million on less than 1% of screens, showing audiences are choosy but willing to pay for quality, with a strong upcoming film slate supporting momentum.

IMAX box office demand at record highs.
The Odyssey is driving record-breaking IMAX demand, tracking nearly double Oppenheimer's performance and becoming a cultural event with sold-out shows through September and $60 million in advance ticket sales. July was IMAX's highest grossing month ever at $257 million global box office.

IMAX is on track for its best year ever in 2026, projecting $1.4 billion global box office. A slate of blockbusters shot with IMAX cameras—including The Odyssey, Spider-Man, Dune 3, Avengers, and a new Tom Cruise film—drives the outlook. The Odyssey's record $52 million IMAX opening supports the trajectory.

Imax to have best year in 2026
Imax just had its highest-ever opening weekend with The Odyssey grossing $52M worldwide, nearly 50% above Oppenheimer. The company projects 2026 as its best year ever with a $1.4B global box office target, underpinned by a strong film slate (Spider-Man, Dune 3, Avengers, Tom Cruise film). Adoption of Imax cameras is rising, boosted by a new quiet film camera developed with Nolan that opens up new filming possibilities and will drive more content. This positions Imax for sustained premium theatrical demand and revenue growth.

Long IMAX on brand and drawdown.
IMAX (IMAX) is a long. The stock is down 23% from highs, but the longer-term uptrend is intact, the brand is premier, and the future is bright. The drawdown presents an opportunity for long-term holders, though near-term catalysts are event-driven (movie grosses).

"The fear that streamers would collapse windows, it looks like that threat is gone. Universal said they are committing to a 45 day window. You are seeing everybody say this industry is still strong." During the pandemic, the existential threat to movie theaters was that studios would release films directly to streaming. With major studios now officially recommitting to exclusive theatrical windows, the business model for theater operators is secure, allowing them to benefit from a recovering box office driven by new, original IP. Long theater operators and premium large-format cinema companies as the structural threat of day-and-date streaming releases evaporates. A severe consumer recession driven by inflation/gas prices could still keep audiences at home, regardless of exclusive theatrical windows.

Caller asks about IMAX in light of Paramount/Warner mergers. Cramer observes that IMAX theaters are "always packed" because they offer an experience people can't get at home.

IMAX releases earned 58 Academy Award nominations and delivered 20% of the domestic opening for major films (up from 10% pre-COVID). The "Premium Experience" thesis is validating. As people go to fewer movies, they choose high-quality formats (IMAX) when they do go. The company is gaining market share despite a shrinking overall theater industry. Long via the "flight to quality" in entertainment. General decline in box office attendance.

IMAX is projecting its best year in history (2026) with record box office numbers driven by franchises like Avatar and Dune. This is the ultimate "HALO" stock. You cannot replicate the 70mm physical theater experience on a phone or headset. It is a physical destination event that is growing in popularity among younger demographics (25-34). LONG. The stock is working, guidance is strong, and it provides insulation from the AI narrative. A lack of blockbuster content in future slates or a general decline in cinema attendance.
