The Museum of Discovery and Science is surprising one moviegoer who had no idea their ticket would help break a long-standing record.
Museum worker: “Fabiola was the smart person who bought the 57,201 ticket. I knew that was going to happen, congratulations!”
Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” just passed “Avatar” as the best-selling film in the history of the AutoNation IMAX theater.
That sale put it over the top, breaking a record that stood for 16 years.
“The Odyssey” has now sold more than 67,000 tickets there.
Fabiola Sardinha: “My sister had been here before, and she told me it was a great movie and that I had to see it specifically at this theater.”
The Fort Lauderdale theater is the only one in Florida showing “The Odyssey” in IMAX 15/70-millimeter film, drawing audiences from across the state and beyond.
The Museum of Discovery and Science marked the milestone with a confetti celebration and special “The Odyssey” memorabilia.
