‘The Odyssey’ Holds Strong Worldwide, Cume Near $640M; ‘Toy Story 5’ Third Pic YTD To Cross $1B WW – Global Box Office Update
The global box office remains active as two major titles lead the pack. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey maintains its grip on theater audiences, pulling in $215.3 million during its second global weekend. This marks an 18 percent dip from its debut, though it continues to dominate in major markets like France, Italy, and Australia. IMAX screenings remain a significant factor in these earnings, as the format generated $48 million toward the total, with many 70mm showtimes sold out through September.
Meanwhile, Disney and Pixar have reached a significant milestone with Toy Story 5. The film has officially crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, making it the third movie this year to achieve this status. It currently sits at $1.022 billion in total global revenue. This performance solidifies its position as the highest-grossing film of the year so far and marks a strong showing for the studio’s animated library.
Beyond these two leaders, other films continue to find success in the international market. Minions and Monsters holds steady in its fourth weekend with $411.8 million total globally. Additionally, the live-action version of Moana is continuing its run with a global total of $228.2 million, performing well across European and African territories. The horror film Obsession also saw a notable debut in China, bringing in $5 million at the box office.
The overall box office health suggests a strong year for theater operators. With upcoming releases like Spider-Man: Brand New Day expected to draw massive crowds, the industry focus remains on maintaining this momentum across both domestic and international markets. As competition between local and Hollywood productions continues, major titles show consistent staying power in key territories.
