Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is continuing its strong run at the Indian box office. The filmmaker’s ambitious adaptation of Homer’s epic, which was shot entirely using IMAX film cameras, had generated massive anticipation ahead of its release. Nolan, along with stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland, also visited Mumbai for the film’s India premiere before it hit theatres. Now, six days into its theatrical run, the film has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in India.
The Odyssey Box Office Collection Day 6: Christopher Nolan’s Epic Zooms Past Rs 100 Crore
According to Sacnilk, The Odyssey collected an estimated Rs 6.50 crore net on Day 6 which took its total India net collection to Rs 84.15 crore and its gross earnings to Rs 100.38 crore.
Despite the usual weekday slowdown, The Odyssey has maintained a healthy run after registering an impressive opening weekend. The film began its journey with Rs 17.40 crore on its first Friday before witnessing a strong jump on Saturday when collections climbed to Rs 22 crore. It continued to hold well on Sunday by adding another Rs 21.90 crore to its total and ending its opening weekend on a high note.
As expected, collections dipped once the working week began. The film collected Rs 8 crore on its first Monday followed by a marginal improvement to Rs 8.35 crore on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the film added Rs 6.50 crore to its tally.
The Odyssey Massive Opening Weekend
While the film has enjoyed a strong start in India, its performance overseas has been equally noteworthy. According to Variety, The Odyssey debuted with $124.5 million from 3,919 theatres in North America which made it Nolan’s biggest domestic opening since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. The publication also noted that the opening ranks as the third biggest domestic debut of the year behind Toy Story 5 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Variety reported that The Odyssey collected $139.6 million across 73 overseas markets which took its worldwide opening weekend total to $264.1 million. The film has recorded the biggest global opening of Nolan’s career by surpassing the worldwide debuts of The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight and Oppenheimer.
