Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has made a spectacular start at the Indian box office, collecting approximately ₹20 crore gross on its opening day. The epic fantasy adventure has registered one of the biggest openings ever for a Hollywood film in India and emerged as one of the strongest post-pandemic debuts for an international release.
The film benefited from exceptional advance bookings, strong occupancy across premium formats, and overwhelming demand for IMAX screenings. The English version contributed the majority of the opening-day business, highlighting the anticipation surrounding Nolan’s latest directorial venture.
With its Day 1 performance, The Odyssey has surpassed the opening-day collections of Oppenheimer in India and secured a place among the country’s biggest Hollywood openers in the post-COVID era. The impressive debut also marks the biggest opening day for a Matt Damon-led film in the Indian market.
Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the film has generated significant excitement among moviegoers. Positive word of mouth and critical acclaim are expected to further strengthen its theatrical run over the weekend.
Globally, The Odyssey has also begun its box office journey on a strong note, with industry analysts expecting a massive opening weekend. In India, the film has established itself as the biggest Hollywood opener of 2026 so far and is likely to continue its impressive momentum in the coming days.
