\n\t\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has surpassed $700 million at the global box office, becoming the fourth highest-grossing movie of the year after just 12 days in theaters.<\/p>\n

\nChristopher Nolan\u2018s Greek epic has generated $320.5 million domestically and $407.4 million overseas, bringing worldwide ticket sales to $727.9 million. Hollywood\u2019s top three releases of 2026 are June\u2019s \u201cToy Story 5\u201d ($1.02 billion) and April\u2019s \u201cThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie\u201d ($1.001 billion) and \u201cMichael\u201d ($1.001 billion). In the coming week, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d will join those films in the billion-dollar club, a remarkable feat that underscores Nolan\u2019s ability to transform his movies into cultural events.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese ticket sales are all the more impressive considering that \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has yet to open in China, the world\u2019s second-biggest moviegoing market. The country is\u00a0rolling out the red-carpet treatment for the film, which is expected to land on nearly 800 Imax screens \u2014 and across thousands of standard auditoriums on Aug. 14. <\/p>\n

\n\tEven with outsized competition from Sony and Marvel\u2019s adventure \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day,\u201d which debuts on Friday and is primed to score one of the biggest openings of all time, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d is expected to remain a force at the box office. It could earn as much as $50 million to $60 million in its third weekend of release, a tally that most adult-skewing dramas would be lucky to earn in their debuts these days.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d cost $250 million, marking Nolan\u2019s most expensive film to date. It\u2019ll soon be his most commercially successful, too. It\u2019s primed to overtake \u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d ($1.008 billion) and 2012\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d ($1.08 billion) as the director\u2019s highest-grossing film of all time. <\/p>\n

\n\tAdapted from Homer\u2019s 3,000-year-old epic poem and starring Matt Damon as the Greek king Odysseus, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has been a major draw in Imax. As the first feature shot entirely with Imax cameras, it\u2019s been sold out in those formats for weeks. So far, Imax has contributed $140 million of the film\u2019s global ticket sales. It\u2019s the company\u2019s second-fastest title (after \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d) to surpass the $100 million mark, having done so in just 10 days.<\/p>\n
