On July 17, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opened strongly in India, collecting Rs 17.40 crore net on its first day, and has since achieved a major milestone by crossing the Rs 100 crore gross mark. Led by Matt Damon, the film witnessed excellent growth over the weekend, taking its three-day total past Rs 60 crore. The Odyssey also stars Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland in key roles. By Day 6, the film earned around Rs 6.50 crore net, playing across 8,268 shows nationwide, with its total collection reaching approximately Rs 84.15 crore net and Rs 100.38 crore gross in India.
Despite the usual weekday slowdown, The Odyssey continued to attract audiences across India, thanks to strong word of mouth and repeat viewership. The original English version remains the biggest contributor to the film’s success in India, with English-language shows recording the strongest occupancy, especially in major cities. Premium formats, particularly IMAX, drive a significant share of ticket sales, reflecting Christopher Nolan’s reputation for creating large-scale cinematic experiences.
The film, based on Homer’s legendary Greek epic, follows King Odysseus as he battles mythical creatures and enemies while attempting to return home after the Trojan War. Alongside Matt Damon, the film features an ensemble cast, including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. With this milestone, The Odyssey becomes only the second Nolan film after Oppenheimer to reach the Rs 100 crore gross mark in India, proving the filmmaker’s massive fan following in the country.
