The Odyssey Rakes in US$ 17.6 Million in Previews
The film’s strong previews were fueled by premium IMAX demand and a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, with only 25 U.S. IMAX 70mm screens available.
- Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey launched with $17.6 million in Thursday previews across 3,900 North American screens, targeting a projected opening between $80 million and $100 million.
- The opening surpassed the $10.5 million preview earnings of Nolan's Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, as the film marks the first feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
- Critics and audiences have embraced the film, which holds a 96% Tomatometer score and 97% Popcornmeter ranking. The all-star cast features Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland.
- As the only wide release this weekend, the film aims to boost the summer box office, though it faces competition from Sunday's World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
- Universal estimates a global start around $200 million for the film, which carries a $250 million production budget. If the movie crosses $100 million domestically, it would become the third such release this year.
