Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Surpasses $87 Million in Second Weekend

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' film has grossed an estimated $87 million in its second weekend in North America, surpassing projections from Boxoffice Pro that placed the film in the $75-$85 million range. This figure represents only a 30% decline from its opening weekend. Adding another $215.3 million from international markets, the ancient Greek epic's global total now stands at $639.6 million. 'The Odyssey' is now Nolan's top film for second weekend ticket sales, surpassing 'The Dark Knight' from 2008. IMAX ticket sales, Nolan's preferred format, have accounted for $140 million globally so far. With seats in major markets like Los Angeles and New York sold out for weeks, scalpers are charging up to $1,000 for resale tickets. Whether it will top the $1 billion mark and become Nolan's biggest film ever remains a key question for investors.
