- The Odyssey is expected to cross $330M+ domestic by end of Wednesday (day 13), versus the 595 days Oppenheimer took to reach the same figure.
- The Odyssey posted $14.7M on its second Monday with Tuesday tracking $16M+, putting the running total near $320.1M stateside.
- The Odyssey will become Nolan's third-highest-grossing domestic film, behind The Dark Knight ($534.9M) and The Dark Knight Rises ($448.1M).
- The Odyssey is already Matt Damon's highest-grossing domestic film in a leading role.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day is targeting a ~$200M North American opening that is forecast to cut The Odyssey's third weekend by 50% at most, or ~$45M.
- Hadestown (Bleecker Street/LD Entertainment) placed No. 2 Monday with $2.2M and is being extended into a second weekend across 1,560 locations after a planned five-day run.
Why it matters: The Odyssey's 13-day climb to $330M domestic — versus Oppenheimer's 595-day journey — cements it as Nolan's third-highest domestic grosser, and a reader in the comments pegs a $50-55M third weekend as the path to a $500M US total that would put The Dark Knight's $534.9M record within reach.
