'The Odyssey' crossed ₹175 crore at the Indian box office on Monday, cementing its position as one of 2024's strongest Hollywood releases in the country, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. The milestone followed a robust weekend across major multiplex chains, with the film surpassing ₹150 crore over Friday to Sunday.
Distributed by Universal Pictures, the adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic features a large ensemble cast. Exhibitors reported near-full houses for IMAX and premium large-format screenings in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Hyderabad.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted that IMAX and 70mm shows drove a disproportionate share of collections, repeating a pattern established by Nolan's earlier Indian releases. Weekday holds have remained steady, signaling that word of mouth is sustaining demand beyond the opening rush.
The performance underscores the strength of premium-format cinema in India, where Hollywood titles increasingly compete with domestic blockbusters through large-screen experiences. PVR Inox exhibitors reported healthy advance bookings for the coming weekend.
Universal has yet to confirm updated worldwide figures for the film. Indian trade sources expect it to remain a top draw through late August, absent significant competition from upcoming domestic releases.
