  "account": "Fans of The Odyssey are paying up to $2,000 for 70mm IMAX tickets on eBay, despite the film's official ticket prices being far lower. New York-based content creator Sarah Morrison secured a $49 ticket for a 2 p.m. screening, highlighting the high demand despite the premium prices. Only 34 U.S. and Canadian theaters can show the 70mm film, and tickets for these screenings sold out quickly. The surge in secondary ticket prices reflects the scarcity of IMAX screenings, with some fans even delaying life events to attend the film in this format.",
  "summary": "This box-office success story is inspiring record cinema attendance rates and points to a rise in analog methods used in Hollywood.",
