Claire Gandy, General Manager of Film at Event Cinemas, said: “The response to The Odyssey at IMAX Sydney has been extraordinary. With three weeks of sold-out sessions and thousands of guests already through our doors, we know just how much audiences want to see this movie the way it was filmed to be seen.
