Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is proving to be more than just a strong opener — it’s holding its ground impressively into week two, cementing itself as the highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year in India.
How the Numbers Are Holding
The film opened its second week with a Friday gross of roughly Rs. 8.25 crore, a 58% drop from its opening day. That might sound steep, but it’s actually a remarkably strong hold by blockbuster standards — for comparison, Oppenheimer saw a much steeper 70% drop at the same stage. The Odyssey is now running about 50% higher than Oppenheimer’s daily numbers at this point in its run, a sharp jump from the mere 10% gap on day one.
With an eight-day total of Rs. 112.75 crore, The Odyssey has already overtaken Obsession to become the top-grossing Hollywood release of the year in India, and it’s on track to surpass Oppenheimer’s numbers by the end of this week. From there, the Rs. 200 crore mark is very much in play — though it will face fresh competition from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which could test its momentum in the coming weeks.
Much of this success traces back to Nolan’s singular brand pull in India, where he’s widely regarded as one of the industry’s defining “great filmmaker” names. That reputation, built steadily since the 2010s, has translated into consistent box-office strength across his recent releases, even for genres — like this one — that don’t traditionally perform big in Indian theatres.

What’s Next
With Oppenheimer’s total within reach and a clear shot at Rs. 200 crore, the real test for The Odyssey will be how it fares once Spider-Man: Brand New Day enters the fray.
