Christopher Nolan’s The Odysseyis on track to surpass the total domestic run of his 2023 film Oppenheimerin just 13 days, continuing a box office run that shows little sign of slowing as it heads into its third weekend.
The film posted $14.7 million on its second Monday in theatres, with Tuesday tracking above $16 million, putting its running domestic total at roughly $320.1 million.
By the end of Wednesday, The Odysseyis expected to cross $330 million, not only overtaking Oppenheimer‘s full domestic run but also becoming Nolan’s third-highest-grossing film at the North American box office, trailing only The Dark Knight($534.9 million) and The Dark Knight Rises($448.1 million).
The film has also become Matt Damon’s highest-grossing leading role at the domestic box office to date.
With Spider-Man: Brand New Daynow arriving in theatres and expected to open north of $200 million, The Odyssey‘s third weekend is projected to ease by as much as 50%, landing around $45 million.
Elsewhere on the chart, Bleecker Street and LD Entertainment’s Broadway capture film Hadestownplaced second for Monday with $2.2 million, continuing a stronger-than-expected run for the filmed stage production, which had originally been planned as a limited five-night theatrical event before strong reviews and repeat viewership prompted an extended run.
The Odyssey‘s sustained performance continues a pattern of unusually strong holds throughout its run, having already posted the best second weekend of Nolan’s career and tied the post-pandemic record for consecutive weeks with a top-ten box office haul over $100 million.
