Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” launched with an estimated $124.5 million in domestic ticket sales and another $139.6 million from overseas, notching an even better debut than “Oppenheimer” and marking the filmmaker’s best opening since 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.”

'The Odyssey' makes $17 million in previews at the box office.

The epic is projected to bring in between $120 million and $137 million in the U.S., likely becoming just the third movie of 2026 to open with more than $100 million domestically.
