Overview
- The Odyssey, which opened wide on July 17, earned about $264.1 million worldwide with roughly $124.5 million in the U.S. and $139.6 million overseas, beating pre-release projections of about $80–$100 million domestic.
- Premium formats produced an outsized share of revenue, with premium screens accounting for about 53% of North American opening-weekend sales and IMAX estimated to have contributed roughly $51.8 million worldwide.
- Critics and audiences have strongly praised the film, which holds roughly a 95% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and has benefited from a critics-first rollout and strong word-of-mouth despite its R rating and nearly three-hour runtime.
- In India the film grossed about Rs 83.14 crore after four days, with a routine Monday drop to an estimated Rs 8.35 crore net on Day 4 and the English-language version accounting for the bulk of collections.
- Christopher Nolan said the scale of making The Odyssey pushed cast and crew to their limits and that he will wait at least three years before directing another film, though he has expressed renewed interest in exploring horror as a future genre.
