The Odyssey Day 9 Box‑Office Surge: 61% Jump Beats ‘Obsession’

Even two weeks after its launch, Christopher Nolan’s fantasy‑adventure The Odyssey shows no signs of fading. After a thunderous opening week, the film entered its second weekend with fresh vigor, drawing crowds back to the big screen despite new competition.

On Day 9 the movie raked in roughly ₹11.05 crore in India, a tidy 61 percent jump from the previous Friday’s earnings, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. That bump nudged the Indian gross to about ₹135 crore, while the net collection comfortably crossed the coveted ₹100 crore barrier.

The uptick isn’t a fluke. Weekend footfall remains strong, with overall occupancy hovering around 45 percent. The English version still dominates the revenue stream, but the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs are chipping in, broadening the film’s appeal across regional audiences.

That Saturday surge even outpaced the Day 9 haul of rival film Obsession, which managed just ₹6.75 crore. The comparison underscores how The Odyssey is still the headline act in Indian multiplexes.

Globally, the picture is equally impressive. The worldwide box‑office has already breached the $400 million (≈₹4,300 crore) mark, with strong performances across North America, Europe and key Asian markets. Overseas earnings stand at roughly ₹1,950 crore, complementing the solid Indian numbers.

For a Hollywood release, crossing ₹100 crore in India during the second weekend is a rare feat. It highlights Nolan’s loyal fan base here and the audience’s appetite for grand, theatrical spectacles. Analysts reckon the film will keep its footing as long as premium‑format screenings stay packed.

Looking ahead, the consensus is cautious optimism: if the momentum holds against upcoming releases, The Odyssey could push its lifetime tally well beyond current expectations, cementing its place as one of the year’s biggest international successes.
