‘The Odyssey’ to beat ‘Oppenheimer’ at Indian box office

With the film, starring Matt Damon in the lead, now officially surpassing the Rs 115 crore gross milestone in India, it is inching closer to surpassing the lifetime collections of Nolan’s own ‘Oppenheimer’, which remains one of the highest-grossing Hollywood releases in the country. The Oscar-winning film concluded its Indian theatrical run with Rs 128.46 crore, and at its current pace, ‘The Odyssey’ is expected to overtake that figure over its second weekend and become Nolan’s highest-grossing film in India.The film has already entered the list of the top 15 highest-grossing Hollywood films in India. If it surpasses ‘The Odyssey’, it will enter the top 10 list of highest-earning Hollywood releases in the country.

The Odyssey is enjoying equally impressive success worldwide. According to estimates on Box Office Mojo, the film has amassed USD 342 million at the global box office. North America remains the film’s biggest market, contributing an estimated USD 199 million, while overseas territories have collectively added another USD 142 million.

‘The Odyssey’ vs ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The film still has nearly a week before Marvel Studios’ ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ arrives in cinemas. The Tom Holland starrer is already tracking for one of the biggest openings ever for a Hollywood title in India, with industry estimates projecting a Rs 50-60 crore gross opening day. Until then, The Odyssey has a valuable window to maximise collections and continue climbing the all-time Hollywood box office rankings in India.
