The Odyssey collected Rs. 1.50 crore to Rs. 1.60 crore on its 4th Monday. That’s a 40 per cent drop from the 4th Friday. Compared to the last Monday, the movie dropped by 35 per cent. The running cume of The Odyssey now stands at Rs. 203 crore gross at the Indian box office.
The Matt Damon starrer is expected to close this week around Rs. 18 to 19 crore, which will take its running cume to 207 to 209 crore. Based on current trends, the movie is expected to end its entire run around Rs. 215 to 225 crore or so.
The biggest USP of the epic saga is the brand Christopher Nolan, who is driving the business. In the film discourse in India, he is often talked about as a synonym for a “great filmmaker”. The director built a niche for himself back in the 2010s, which has now grown into a proper box office force, with his last three releases, including a re-release of Interstellar, drawing high demand.
Just like it was for Oppenheimer, The Odyssey isn’t particularly a genre that has traditionally done big in India, with the best result probably coming for the 300 sequel. One can only imagine what Nolan could achieve with a broader-appealing film, say, an Inception or a Dark Knight, although the latter is an impossibility.
