## Summary

The head of Sony Pictures has said that the box office performance of upcoming films “The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” shows audiences are returning to cinemas, pushing back against ongoing concerns about the future of theatrical releases. The comments reflect a broader industry debate about whether cinema-going has recovered from the pandemic-era downturn and the rise of streaming, with major studios keen to reassure investors and exhibitors that big-budget films can still draw crowds.

The article, published by Far Out Magazine, centres on remarks from Sony's studio boss framing these two upcoming releases as evidence of renewed public appetite for theatrical films. However, the specific details, figures and direct quotes underpinning this claim were not available in the retrieved article text, which consisted largely of the publication's site navigation rather than the full story.
