The Odyssey is headed for a fantastic second day at the Indian box office, with the Christopher Nolan directorial on course to collect over Rs. 25 crore / USD 2.60 million (Rs. 21 crore nett) on Saturday. That would mark a robust 30-35 per cent jump over its opening day. In comparison, Oppenheimer had grown by 16 per cent on its first Saturday. The growth is being driven by standard format, as IMAX & other PLFs were already operating close to capacity on Friday and are expected to register a more modest increase of under 20 per cent today. This means the standard shows are up by close to 50 per cent, which is a phenomenal surge.
The two-day collections for the film would stand at Rs. 45 crore / USD 4.70 million approx, putting the film firmly on course to Rs. 70 crore plus weekend. On the high end, this figure could climb to Rs. 75 crore if the film manages to grow on Sunday as well. That will be more than 20 per cent higher than the weekend haul of Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer had impressive legs, leading to Rs. 159 crore final, a number which The Odyssey is now almost certain to cross and will probably aim for closer to Rs. 200 crore / USD 21 million.
The Odyssey is turning out to be a phenomenon across the world, riding the wave of outstanding reception from critics and audiences alike. The weekend projections in North America going into the weekend were hovering around USD 100 million, but now it is said to be targeting USD 125 million plus. Similar upward revisions are being witnessed across several international markets as well. The film has well and truly set sail towards the USD 1 billion mark worldwide. Unlike Odysseus and his crew, however, this voyage looks set to be a remarkably smooth one.
