Overview
- Universal confirmed on Sunday that The Odyssey has reached about $1.104 billion worldwide, with roughly $461 million from North America and $643 million from overseas.
- IMAX reported the film is its highest‑grossing release ever after premium screenings produced an outsized share of revenue, including strong returns from the limited 70mm presentations.
- China preview sales and multi‑million dollar presales have been strong and the film is scheduled for a full wide release there on August 14, a market that could add materially to the global total.
- The Odyssey has posted robust runs in other markets, including India where estimates put the 22‑day net at about 157.4 crore, and it has held screens and repeat business despite competition from Spider‑Man: Brand New Day.
- Pre‑release criticism over casting continued to circulate in coverage but trade and studio figures show the debate did not visibly slow ticket demand for the film’s theatrical rollout.
