Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is moving like an event film in India, not just a Hollywood release. After a superb first week powered by premium screens and strong urban momentum, the mythic epic has closed its seven day run at ₹85.65 crore nett (101.06 crore gross) across all versions, putting the ₹100 crore mark firmly in sight as it heads into its second weekend.
What stands out just as much as the opening burst is the film’s weekday behaviour. Instead of collapsing after the initial rush, The Odyssey held steady through Monday to Thursday, a sign that audience interest has extended beyond first day fan turnout and into sustained metro demand. That kind of hold is often what separates a big opener from a genuine long runner, especially for a Hollywood title in India.
Week 1 Total Sets Up A Major Weekend 2 Push
The Odyssey posts an excellent Week 1 total, with major centres contributing the bulk of its business. The film is on track to cross the ₹ 100 cr nett mark in Weekend 2, becoming the first Hollywood film to enter the ₹ 100 cr Club in 2026.
Odyssey Box Office Collection:
Day 1: 16.08 cr
Day 2: 20.92 cr
Day 3: 19.85 cr
Day 4: 7.77 cr
Day 5: 8.34 cr
Day 6: 6.93 cr
Day 7: 5.76 cr
Total: 85.65 crore nett (101.06 crore gross)
The wider picture is just as impressive. The Odyssey opened globally to $264.1 million over its debut weekend, including $124.5 million domestically and $139.6 million from overseas markets, giving Nolan one of the biggest starts of his career. That scale has clearly carried into India, where premium format demand and strong occupancy in key urban markets have kept the film firmly in the conversation all week.
A Mythic Epic Backed By A Starry Cast
The Odyssey is written and directed by Christopher Nolan and released by Universal Pictures. The cast includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland and Zendaya, with the story adapting Homer’s foundational Greek epic for the big screen. The film has been described by India’s censor board as a “mythic action epic,” and the narrative follows Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, on his long and haunted journey home after war.
In India, the film arrived in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, a release strategy that has widened its reach far beyond the core English language audience. That multilingual push, combined with Nolan’s rare ability to turn original big screen storytelling into must watch theatrical fare, has helped The Odyssey play like a true nationwide event.
