Just when you’d expect a third-weekend slowdown, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey did the opposite. The film posted a massive 75% jump on its third Saturday, proving that even in its third week, this mythological epic still has serious pulling power.

A Saturday Surge Worth Talking About
The Odyssey added Rs 7 crore on its third Saturday — a 75% leap from Friday’s numbers. That kind of jump this late into a theatrical run is rare, and it pushed the film’s total to Rs 170.50 crore gross in India in just 16 days. Trade estimates suggest another Rs 7–9 crore is on the way for Sunday, edging the film closer to the Rs 180 crore mark.
The Odyssey: The Numbers So Far
| Milestone | Collection |
|---|---|
| Week 1 Total | Rs 104.75 crore |
| Week 2 Total | Rs 55.25 crore |
| 3rd Friday | Rs 4.00 crore |
| 3rd Saturday | Rs 7.00 crore |
| Running Total (16 Days) | Rs 170.50 crore |
| Expected Sunday Addition | Rs 7–9 crore |
| Projected Final Finish | Rs 210 crore+ |
IMAX Is Doing the Heavy Lifting
Nearly two-thirds of The Odyssey‘s box office haul is coming from IMAX screens — a trend the film is expected to hold onto for weeks. That kind of premium-format dominance is a strong signal of audience commitment, since IMAX tickets typically come at a premium and cater to viewers seeking the full theatrical spectacle.
Riding the Nolan Wave
The film’s biggest strength remains its director. Christopher Nolan has become something of a shorthand for “great filmmaking” in Indian film discourse, a reputation built steadily since the 2010s. His last three releases — including a theatrical re-release of Interstellar — have all drawn strong demand, reinforcing his position as one of the film directors with genuine box office pull independent of genre or franchise.
Interestingly, mythological drama isn’t a genre that has traditionally performed big in India — the closest comparable success being the 300 sequel. That makes The Odyssey‘s run even more notable, echoing the same pattern seen with Oppenheimer, a film that also succeeded in India despite belonging to a genre with no guaranteed local pull.
