‘The Odyssey’ Posts Powerful $20M Tuesday; 2nd U.S. Weekend Could Top Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ Pics – Box Office
The Odyssey is maintaining significant momentum at the domestic box office. The film is on track to secure a 20 million dollar Tuesday. If the final figures cross 20.86 million dollars today, it will set a new record for Christopher Nolan films on a Tuesday, surpassing the 2008 performance of The Dark Knight.
Currently, The Odyssey holds the second position for Tuesday earnings this year, trailing only Toy Story 5. Within the Universal Pictures catalog, it sits behind only Jurassic World. These results indicate strong sustained interest despite the film currently being in its second week of release.
Looking ahead to the upcoming weekend, the production is expected to hold all Imax and premium large format screens. Projections place the second weekend earnings between 61.8 million and 74 million dollars. Analysts expect a drop between 40 and 50 percent, which stands in contrast to the steeper declines typically seen in superhero franchises. Audiences continue to prioritize specific showtimes and high-end theater formats for this release.
Other notable entries are entering the market this weekend, including the noir film Motor City from IFC and the Broadway production capture Hadestown: The Musical from Bleecker Street. These titles fill a gap in the schedule before the arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day next week. The industry is watching these figures closely as a barometer for mid-summer attendance patterns.
