Box Office Global: 'Odyssey' No. 1 Over 'Spider-Man'; 'Brand New Day' $2.4B

1 spot at the global weekend box office with $45.96M WW over the Sony/Marvel Studios’ title’s sixth frame of $44.1M WW. As we told you, Odyssey became the 17th movie to cross $1 billion at the international box office. The pic is the fourth biggest Hollywood film of all time there and Universal’s biggest film ever. It’s the second biggest Hollywood film of all time, and Universal’s biggest film ever. Brand New Day has beat Odyssey in China, Germany, UK, Australia, India, Spain ($41.8M for Odyssey), Mexico ($37.7M for Odyssey) and Brazil ($23.9M for Odyssey).

For the first time since Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened on July 31, Universal and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey can throw a galley parade over the fact that it’s grabbed the No. 1 spot at the global weekend box office with $45.96M WW over the Sony/Marvel Studios’ title’s sixth frame of $44.1M WW. It’s another case of a Tom Holland-Zendaya movie besting another Tom Holland-Zendaya movie.

As we told you, Odyssey became the 17th movie to cross $1 billion at the international box office. With a running global cume of $1.627 billion ($584.7M of that from domestic), the Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Holland ensemble is nearing Jurassic World‘s $1.67 billion worldwide cume to become the highest grossing movie ever for Universal.

The mini-triumph comes in Odyssey‘s eighth weekend with the launch of Japan previews on 62 Imax screens, which rang up $755K. The Imax exclusive run, which has also seen sell-outs similar to the U.S., runs until Sept. 11 when Odyssey goes wide. Odyssey posted an eighth 3-day domestic of $13M with another $32.9M from 84 foreign territories.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day counts a solid $2.4 billion at the global box office ($1.485B int’l, $917.8M domestic through Sunday), making it the third-highest grossing movie of all time, and it will likely stay there behind Avatar ($2.9B) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.799B). Through Monday, Brand New Day‘s domestic total will stand at $923M. Despite the fact that the movie will be $13.66M away stateside from overtaking Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the highest grossing movie ever in North America ($936.66M), the delta to best Avengers: Endgame at the global B.O. is too far to cross.

Odyssey had a great fifth weekend in Korea of $7.6M, -33%, for an $80M cume, becoming Universal’s biggest film ever and surpassing Aladdin there to become the fifth-biggest MPA title of all-time. The pic is still No. 1 there.

Odysseus in China added a strong $5.6M this weekend, ranking No. 3 behind two local holdovers, with a cume of $98.4M, still the second-biggest Nolan film of all-time there behind Interstellar. Germany made $2.1M, -23%, for a cume of $59.3M. UK & Ireland enjoyed an excellent hold in weekend 8, -38%, for a No. 2 rank of $2M and a running total of $111.2M. Over the new coming days, Nolan’s best of all-time there will move into the country’s top 10 best ever, overtaking Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Top Gun Maverick. Odyssey was No. 3 in France with $1.6M and a running total near $86M, this despite the end of school holidays prompting a drop in overall cinema-going. The pic is the fourth biggest Hollywood film of all time there and Universal’s biggest film ever. Odyssey had the best hold of any title in Australia, -8%, with the territory boosted by a National Cinema Day on Sunday. The weekend result totaled $1.5M to reach $44.3M, surpassing the lifetime of Avengers: Infinity War to become the No. 11 film of all time, having already become the biggest Uni film ever. Odyssey was No. 2 in Italy with $1M, repping 19% of the market’s business and a cume of $64.1M. It’s the second biggest Hollywood film of all time, and Universal’s biggest film ever.
