Overview

  • The Odyssey has crossed roughly $1.1 billion worldwide, making it Christopher Nolan’s highest‑grossing film to date.
  • The film has generated an estimated $289 million from IMAX screenings, surpassing Avatar to become the largest IMAX release on record.
  • The Odyssey has earned about $461 million in North America and has held steady overseas with strong runs in markets such as India, where it has reached roughly Rs. 165.28 crore.
  • The Odyssey, which opened wide in South Korea over the weekend of Aug. 7–9, drew about 1.33 million admissions and displaced Spider‑Man: Brand New Day from the top spot.
  • The movie’s premium‑format strategy — heavy use of IMAX and limited 70mm screenings that command higher ticket prices and strong presales — drove early grosses and means the Aug. 14 China rollout and ongoing screen competition with Spider‑Man will be the key factors for further gains.
