The first time IMAX reached $1 billion was back in 2015, thanks to the success of films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World. The second time was in 2019, driven by blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame and The Lion King.
This year’s $1 billion milestone was achieved thanks to a combination of factors, including the strong performance of films like Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which is now the third-highest-grossing film of the year.
Other films that helped push IMAX over the $1 billion mark include:
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie
- Barbie
- Top Gun: Maverick
- Jurassic World Dominion
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
- The Batman
IMAX’s success is a positive sign for the movie theater industry, which has been struggling in recent years due to the rise of streaming services. IMAX’s unique format provides a viewing experience that simply cannot be replicated at home, and that’s something that moviegoers are clearly willing to pay for.
So, what does this mean for the future of IMAX?
With the format’s popularity continuing to grow, it’s likely that we’ll see even more films released in IMAX in the coming years. IMAX is also expanding its reach into new markets, such as China and India, which could further boost its box office potential.
In short, the future of IMAX looks bright. And with so many exciting films on the horizon, it’s clear that moviegoers are ready to experience the magic of IMAX for many years to come.
