The Odyssey collected Rs. 2.50 crore on its third Thursday, registering a 10 per cent drop from the previous day. The epic saga, directed by Christopher Nolan, wrapped its third week at Rs. 29 crore. That’s a 47 per cent drop from last week.
Starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson, the movie took its running cume to Rs. 188.75 crore gross at the Indian box office. The Odyssey is expected to surpass the Rs. 200 crore mark in its fourth weekend. Based on current trends, the movie is looking to finish its entire box office collection at Rs. 215 crore gross.
The biggest USP of the epic saga is the brand Christopher Nolan, who is one of the biggest film directors in the world. 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.
