So much so that IMAX seats in major markets, from Los Angeles to New York City, are sold out weeks in advance with scalpers looking to up-charge moviegoers<\/a> by reselling tickets for hundreds of dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\nThanks to its positive word-of-mouth and undeniable hold on premium screens, The Odyssey<\/em> is on track to become one of the highest-grossing releases of the year.<\/p>\nIt certainly helps that, thus far, The Odyssey<\/em> has no real competitor at the box office. Disney\u2019s live-action reimagining of Moana<\/em>got off to a sluggish start<\/a> and hasn\u2019t picked up steam three weeks into its run.
