Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has kicked off its box office journey in India on a pretty solid note. It stars Matt Damon in the lead, and the film has already touched the Rs 70 crore mark in just three days. That makes it the director’s largest opening weekend in the country, at least so far. Since release day, theaters in most major cities have been seeing impressive footfall, and the weekend shows in particular drew big crowds.
A lot of this has to do with strong advance bookings, plus positive word from both audiences and critics, which has kept the momentum going.
Because of this kind of start, The Odyssey is already being talked about as one of the biggest Hollywood releases in India this year, and it’s likely to keep its strong run going at the box office.

The film’s pretty impressive opening weekend has, like, generated big expectations for how it’ll do over the next days. But honestly, the real test starts now, as The Odyssey slides into its first weekday, when box office numbers usually loosen up a bit. Even though a lot of Hollywood releases often see a dip after the weekend, Christopher Nolan’s movies tend to hold pretty well, thanks to positive word of mouth and people coming back again.
