It took Christopher Nolan’s multi-Oscar-winning 2023 pic Oppenheimer 595 days to final at just over $330M stateside, and it’s taking the director’s The Odyssey just 13 days to outstrip that result.
The filmmaker’s feature take on Homer’s epic poem hasn’t eased one bit, with its second Monday charting $14.7M and Tuesday looking like $16M+ for what’s bound to be a running total of $320.1M stateside. By EOD Wednesday, The Odyssey is expected to cross $330M+ on its 13th day of release, not only besting Oppenheimer but becoming Nolan’s third-highest-grossing movie at the domestic B.O. after The Dark Knight ($534.9M) and The Dark Knight Rises ($448.1M).
As we told you, with the arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has a shot at reaching a North American opening around $200M, Odyssey‘s third weekend looks to ease by 50% at most, or $45M.
The Odyssey already is Matt Damon’s highest-grossing movie (in a leading role) at the domestic box office.
