With no breaks, The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan is going at breakneck speed at the global box office.
Within just two weeks, the Greek epic has raked in $700 million and on track to become another billion-dollar movie for the celebrated director.
To break down the jaw-dropping figure, Variety reported, the film drew $320.5 million from the domestic market, while overseas, it has earned $407.4 million, bringing the total to $727.9 million.
The current global haul makes The Odyssey the fourth highest-grossing film of 2026, only behind Toy Story 5, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and Michael, and they all, by the way, have hit the $1 billion mark.
And The Odyssey has not even been released in China yet, the world’s second-largest movie market, where it will open on Aug 14.
Nolan’s mythic spectacle is so dominating at the box office that it is expected to gross up to $60 million in its third weekend despite Marvel at the time releasing its tentpole Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The Odyssey, which was made on a $250 million budget, is set to become the largest hit of the filmmaker’s career, which was previously held by The Dark Knight Rises.
