Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is now running in theatres. The movie stars Tom Holland and Matte Damon in lead roles and is expected to make a strong opening at the Indian box office. Let us take a look at early trends.
The Odyssey Box Office Day 1 prediction
According to early estimates from Sacnilk, The Odyssey had earned Rs 8.51 crore (India net) from advance sales and live bookings at the time of writing.
Screening across 6,305 shows nationwide, the film is expected to earn Rs 18–22 crore net on its opening day, with evening and night shows likely to boost collections.
Can The Odyssey beat Oppenheimer's IMAX record?
The Odyssey is witnessing strong occupancy in IMAX screens, driven by Christopher Nolan's groundbreaking use of IMAX 70mm film, echoing the craze seen during Oppenheimer in 2023.
Oppenheimer remains India's highest-grossing IMAX film with around Rs 50 crore from IMAX screens, a record The Odyssey could surpass if its strong momentum continues.
The Odyssey Budget
With a reported total budget of $375 million, The Odyssey is estimated to need around $625 million worldwide to break even and over $750 million to be considered a hit. For comparison, Oppenheimer earned nearly $975 million globally.
Driven by strong IMAX demand, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is eyeing a Rs 18–22 crore India opening, putting it on track to challenge Oppenheimer's lifetime IMAX record.
