Nolan's Odyssey Passes 1.5 Billion Yen at Japanese Box Office in 13 Days
The IMAX and Japanese dub numbers are doing the work here: IMAX admissions and revenue both rose past 116 percent week over week, and the dub took 25.1 percent of 2D admissions, so the premium formats and the local voice cast are carrying a Matt Damon-led epic through its third week.

Christopher Nolan's Odyssey has earned 1,561,769,520 yen and 824,936 admissions in Japan as of September 23, its 13th day in release or 20th counting IMAX preview screenings. It placed fourth overall and first among foreign films for the September 18-20 weekend, and the distributor says 2.5 billion yen is within reach.
The IMAX figure is the one to watch. Admissions and revenue for IMAX screenings both exceeded 116 percent of the previous week, which is unusual movement this late in a run and points to repeat viewers chasing the large-format photography rather than a single opening-weekend spike. The Japanese dub is a separate story: it accounts for 25.1 percent of the 2D share, with Hiroaki Hirata, Junya Enoki and Maaya Sakamoto among the voice cast. As of September 23 the film sits at 824,936 admissions and 1,561,769,520 yen, and the distributor puts 2.5 billion yen within reach. The cast also includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
