The Odyssey Box Office Drops Just 19% as Its Second Weekend in Theaters Brings Another $215 Million Globally
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey brought in another $215.3 million globally in its second weekend, a drop of just 19%, extending an unusually strong run for the Matt Damon-led epic. The film's resilience is notable in an industry where second-weekend drops of 40-50% are common, and it puts Universal and Nolan on a clear path towards a $1 billion worldwide total.
The Odyssey's cumulative box office now stands at $639.6 million, made up of $353.26 million internationally and $286.37 million domestically, after an opening weekend of $264.1 million that already beat expectations. Elsewhere, Pixar's Toy Story 5 passed $1.022 billion worldwide despite slipping to third place behind Chinese film All Wishes Come True, while Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Soccer and Minions & Monsters rounded out the top five; Disney's live-action Moana lagged in sixth with a soft $228.16 million total. The Odyssey will face fresh competition next weekend from Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but with a $250 million production budget and roughly $125 million in marketing costs, it already looks set to finish as one of 2026's biggest commercial successes.
- The Odyssey earned $215.3m globally in weekend two, down just 19%
