The Odyssey Becomes Universal's Highest‑Grossing Film
The studio said an IMAX‑first, 70mm‑led rollout drove outsized per‑ticket revenue that kept the film in theaters far longer than typical releases.
Overview
- Universal announced Thursday that The Odyssey has topped Jurassic World with studio figures near $1.685 billion worldwide.
- Independent trackers place the film at roughly $1.68 billion global with a North America cume around $603–604 million and an international total near $1.08 billion.
- The film’s IMAX and 70mm‑heavy strategy produced record IMAX grosses and higher average ticket yields, which studios and exhibitors say extended repeat attendance and long theatrical tails.
- Strong regional holds are still adding revenue, with India at about 190.02 crore net and other markets like South Korea and China contributing sustained box‑office runs.
- Analysts view the run as a proof point that director‑led event pictures and premium formats can compete with franchise tentpoles, and some projections (still developing) place The Odyssey on track to climb further later in its theatrical window.
