“The Odyssey” Dominates Global Box-Office

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” held strongly in its second weekend at the global box-office.

The title took in a further $215.3 million worldwide – down just 18% from its $263.7 million debut last weekend. $87 million of that was from the U.S. domestic audience (a 30%) drop, the remainder from overseas which saw a drop of just 10% from its debut numbers.

The good news comes as Universal got some bad news – a version of the film was leaked on X this weekend before Universal quickly initiated takedown protocols, resulting in the copies being removed.

Fans quickly leapt to the film’s support by Rickrolling those searching for copies. The box-office hasn’t been hurt either way as, at present, the film sits at $286.3 million domestically and $640 million worldwide so far after just 10 days.

Estimates for the movie’s long-term box-office projections have been raised to $1.3 billion worldwide by the time it is done – giving Universal three $1 billion films this year following “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” and “Michael” which they internationally distributed.

This weekend, “Toy Story 5” also became the highest-grossing movie of the year so far with $1.022 billion.
