The Odyssey Nears Rs 200 Crore: Nolan’s Epic Refuses to Slow Down

Four weeks in, and Christopher Nolan’s name is still pulling audiences into theatres. The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, is closing in on a milestone few films manage to sustain this late into their run.

How Much Has The Odyssey Earned So Far?

The film collected Rs 3 crore on its 4th Friday, marking a 20% spike over the previous day, pushing its total India gross to Rs 191.75 crore. With a strong fourth weekend projected at around Rs 13 crore, The Odyssey is on track to cross the Rs 200 crore mark.

Week-by-Week Performance

Why This Milestone Matters

More than two-thirds of The Odyssey‘s collections have come from IMAX screens, making it the highest-grossing IMAX film in India to date. That’s a significant achievement, especially considering epic mythological adventure isn’t a genre that has traditionally performed strongly at the Indian box office — the closest comparison being 300‘s sequel.

The Nolan Factor

Much of the film’s staying power comes down to one name: Christopher Nolan. Over the past decade, Nolan has built a reputation in India as shorthand for “great filmmaker,” and his recent releases — including a theatrical re-release of Interstellar — have consistently drawn strong audience demand. This mirrors the trajectory of his previous release, Oppenheimer, which similarly defied genre expectations to cross the Rs 100 crore nett mark in India. The film draws loosely from Homer’s ancient epic Odyssey, reimagined through Nolan’s signature large-format filmmaking style.
