IMAX ▼ -2.9% - IMAX Corporation $IMAX IMAX China summer box office surpassed 723 mln yuan through Aug 29, up 39% YoY, driven by strong supply of high-quality releases and concentrated consumer demand for premium viewing. Imported Odyssey posted 310 mln yuan in IMAX receipts and IMAX accounted for 54.6% of the film’s nationwide box office. Spider-Man’s first weekend IMAX takings exceeded 130 mln yuan, the best IMAX opening for a Hollywood release in the mainland since 2019. Domestic film Welcome to Long Restaurant, shot specially for IMAX, passed 700 mln yuan in box office five days after release. IMAX shares fell 2.9% despite strong summer performance in China, where IMAX box office receipts surpassed 723 million yuan through late August—up 39% year-over-year. The gains were driven by high-quality releases including Spider-Man, which posted the best IMAX opening for a Hollywood film in mainland China since 2019, and domestic title Welcome to Long Restaurant, which crossed 700 million yuan in box office just five days after release. The decline suggests investors may be pricing in concerns about sustaining this momentum or other factors beyond the company's China performance. 30-AUG-2026 10:22 AM ET
