Is this a very limited release or why not just give it a few weeks and you'll get seats without any trouble?

There's only 25 theaters in the US that even have 70MM IMAX projectors, so it is indeed pretty limited.

The IMAX screenings are pre-committed to future movies -- it might be the case that Spider-Man takes over in two weeks and the window for The Odyssey is closed, even if more people want to see The Odyssey in IMAX than Spider-Man.

If the ticket sales show that demand difference, they'll often flip back. e.g. I missed Project Hail Mary in imax because they bumped it for the Mario movie, but if I'd waited an extra week they swapped back to Project Hail Mary in the imax theatre, presumably due to relatively low ticket sales for imax Mario.

A theater near me has 70mm showings. I have to imagine they'll find a time/way to fit showings (at $25/ticket!) until demand drops.

For the theaters near me, 70mm IMAX showings even a few weeks out still had only crummy seats. Also, I'm impatient and want to see it soon!

FOMO.. it makes people do weird things like this.

Just look at Labubu's.

When we watched that South Park episode, my wife had to explain to me that those were real and not a made up thing for the show

Is this weird? Helping others?
