The Odyssey Box Office Crosses Rs 100 Crore Gross in India

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has added another feather to its cap by crossing the Rs 100 crore gross mark at the Indian box office. Along with Oppenheimer, the filmmaker's latest historical epic has become just his second film to achieve this in India, further cementing Nolan's appeal among Indian moviegoers.

The Matt Damon-starrer opened well at the Indian box office on July 17 with a net collection of Rs 17.40 crore on Friday and surged impressively over the weekend to take its three-day total to over Rs 60 crore. The film also stars Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland in central roles.

On its Day 6 of release, the film held steady despite the usual weekday drop-off. It recorded an estimated net collection of Rs 6.50 crore across 8,268 shows on Wednesday. The figure marks a drop from Tuesday's box office collections, but the film continues to perform consistently across premium and standard screens.

The Odyssey has now grossed approximately Rs 84.15 crore net and Rs 100.38 crore gross in India, making it one of the few Hollywood releases to cross this milestone in the country.

Post-weekend collections dropped as expected. Monday and Tuesday were stable, with earnings hovering around the Rs 8 crore mark, before Wednesday saw another dip. Even so, the film kept pulling in audiences across thousands of screenings nationwide, demonstrating its ability to maintain momentum beyond the opening weekend rather than simply riding the wave of initial fan interest.

Backed by strong audience support and positive word of mouth, the English-language original version continues to contribute the most to the film's earnings in India, while Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubbed versions add further to the collections. English-language screenings continued to report the highest occupancy levels across major metropolitan markets, with much of the demand driven by premium large-format screens, particularly IMAX - reflecting Nolan's reputation for delivering visually immersive theatrical experiences.

Another Milestone for Christopher Nolan

The feat marks another big success for Christopher Nolan in India. Oppenheimer had earlier become one of the highest-grossing Hollywood films ever released in the country, earning over Rs 128 crore in its theatrical run. Having now grossed over Rs 100 crore in its opening week, The Odyssey sees Nolan once again proving his ability to convert ambitious big-budget storytelling into a box office event. It also becomes lead actor Matt Damon's second Rs 100 crore grosser in India.

Adapted from Homer's ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey follows King Odysseus on his journey home following the Trojan War, facing mythical creatures, divine interventions, and perilous trials along the way. The ensemble cast also includes Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, John Leguizamo, and Mia Goth.
