Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has begun its second weekend on a positive note at the Indian box office. After witnessing a gradual decline during the weekdays following its impressive opening week, the epic action drama has registered growth on its second Friday.
The Odyssey Box Office Collection Day 8: Christopher Nolan’s Epic Sees Growth
According to Sacnilk, The Odyssey collected Rs 6.85 crore net in India on Day 8. The latest figures mark an 11.4 per cent increase over its Day 7 earnings of Rs 6.15 crore. The film recorded the collection across 5,383 shows nationwide.
With this, The Odyssey has taken its total India net collection to Rs 97.15 crore while its gross earnings in the country now stand at Rs 115.92 crore. If the current momentum continues through Saturday and Sunday, the film is expected to comfortably cross the Rs 100 crore net mark over the weekend.
A Strong Opening Week Keeps The Momentum Going
The Odyssey opened with Rs 17.40 crore on its first Friday before witnessing a significant jump over the opening weekend. The film earned Rs 22 crore on Saturday, followed by Rs 21.90 crore on Sunday.
As expected, collections saw a drop once the weekdays began. The film collected Rs 8 crore on its first Monday and remained steady with Rs 8.35 crore on Tuesday. It then earned Rs 6.50 crore on Wednesday and Rs 6.15 crore on Thursday. It ended its first week with an impressive Rs 90.30 crore net collection.
Rather than continuing the weekday slide, The Odyssey bounced back on its second Friday with Rs 6.85 crore, a sign that weekend footfalls are picking up once again.
The Odyssey Continues To Shine Worldwide
The film’s success is not limited to India. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Odyssey has already amassed $322 million worldwide which makes it one of the biggest global releases of the year.
