Book-based book The Odyssey is expected to make Universal history, becoming the studio’s highest-grossing film ever at the global box office with around $1.684 billion. The film will overtake Universal’s previous record-holder, 2015’s book-inspired film Jurassic World, which finished its worldwide theatrical run with $1.677 billion.
The Odyssey has set several records both at the opening weekend and throughout its theatrical run. It delivered the biggest international and worldwide opening of Christopher Nolan’s career, surpassing The Dark Knight Rises with $139.6 million internationally and $264.1 million worldwide. The film also scored the biggest domestic opening weekend ever for an IMAX 70mm release, taking in $6.3 million, while setting a record for the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated Universal film domestically with $123.5 million.
Overall, The Odyssey has become the highest-grossing film of Christopher Nolan’s career domestically, internationally, and worldwide. It is also the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine, which earned $1.33 billion worldwide. In addition, the film is the highest-grossing movie ever for IMAX, with more than $486 million worldwide. The Odyssey is also the first non-sequel and non-remake to surpass $1 billion internationally since 2009.
The Odyssey has also become the highest-grossing Universal Pictures film of all time in 45 international markets (Australia, France, Italy, India, and South Korea).
Domestically, The Odyssey ranks as Universal’s second-highest-grossing film, trailing only Jurassic World, which earned $653.4 million.
Universal is the first to surpass $4 billion worldwide this year and the first to cross the $3 billion mark internationally.
