The Story in Brief
Nolan's epic The Odyssey, starring Tom Holland and Matt Damon, has earned Rs 169.50 crore net in India by Day 24, reports Sacnilk. Worldwide, it has grossed $1.104 billion, overtaking The Dark Knight Rises as Nolan's biggest hit. Notably, IMAX screenings alone generated $289.3 million, a record surpassing Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water.
The film dropped just 8% in its fourth weekend, showing strong legs. It has become the highest-grossing film for stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson. Nolan shot entirely with IMAX cameras, making the format integral to the experience.
The Indian Opinion
With The Odyssey smashing records, the narrative that only big-budget Hollywood epics can revive theatres is overstated. While its IMAX milestone is impressive, the India collection of Rs 169.50 crore net is modest by local blockbuster standards. The real test: will audiences still pay a premium for IMAX when Nolan returns with an original, non-franchise film?
