Matt Damon has highlighted the strong prospects for theatrical films with the release of 'The Odyssey'. He noted that younger audiences are returning to cinemas in ways reminiscent of his own youth.
Matt Damon told The Hollywood Reporter that 'The Odyssey' benefits from renewed interest in moviegoing. He described how younger consumers are embracing the experience he shared with Ben Affleck growing up. This movie’s coming at a really good time, where it feels like everybody’s wanting to go back and enjoying going back the way that Ben and I went to the movies every weekend when we were growing up, and if a movie was sold out, we just went to whatever else was playing, it was just part of our lives, and it feels like that’s coming back for this next generation, and that’s really exciting, Damon said. The comments underscore optimism about the return of habitual cinema attendance among new generations.
