\n\tSUNDAY AM:<\/strong> Universal<\/a>\u2018s Christopher Nolan<\/a> epic The Odyssey<\/a> had a great hold on Saturday of $41.66M<\/strong> -17% off Friday\/previews taking its overall weekend to $124.5M<\/strong>, which breaks a slew of records we\u2019ve been telling you about over the weekend including the best domestic start YTD for a movie, the best ever opening for Matt Damon, record opening for a Universal R-rated movie, Nolan\u2019s third best debut, as well as now the fourth best R-rated opening after Deadpool & Wolverine ($211.4M), Deadpool ($132.4M), and Deadpool 2 ($125.5M).<\/p>\n

\n\tNote, while there was some anti-woke sentiment seen in the social media per RelishMix, the success of The Odyssey this weekend isn\u2019t purely built on a digitally crazed audience. Rather a Nolan movie brings out the non-frequent moviegoer, read 43% of the audience only head to the movies every few months or so, or even a few times a year according to PostTrak exits. Not to mention, it\u2019s clear that anti-woke noise didn\u2019t slow ticket sales one iota. <\/p>\n

\n\tEntTelligence reports that 7.5M people watched The Odyssey in North America versus 5.9M for Oppenheimer. Average ticket prices for Odyssey were general at $15.32 (versus Oppenheimer\u2018s $13.44), PLF at $19.07 (vs. Oppenheimer\u2018s $16.64), and 70MM at $22.46 (versus $17.03). <\/p>\n

\n\tGlobal is $264.1M<\/strong>, which as we told you yesterday is the biggest worldwide opening for Nolan, ahead of Dark Knight Rises ($249M WW). International\u2019s $139.6M start in 73 markets, 12,700 locations and 25,600 screens is also the biggest foreign debut for Nolan. It\u2019s Uni\u2019s biggest ever opening in 11 markets and the biggest ever opening for Nolan in 48 markets including France, Italy, India, Spain, Brazil, Netherlands and Poland. <\/p>\n

\n\tExclaimed Universal\u2019s Domestic Distribution Boss this morning, \u201cIncredibly rewarding to see the palpable excitement in theatres this weekend with the release of The Odyssey.\u00a0 Once again, Christopher Nolan has crafted an epic adventure on a scale rarely seen as audiences respond with not only tremendous results at the box office, but with reactions to the film that are beyond stellar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC was the leading chain for the movie with more than $23M so far, followed by Regal with $17M+, Cinemark with $11.7M, and Canada\u2019s Cineplex with $7.4M. EntTelligence shows a near split between evening and matinee shows as far as attendance goes at 53% (after 5pm) to 46% (before 5PM).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe AMC Lincoln Square in NYC has now become the highest grossing venue for The Odyssey with more than $394K. TCL Chinese was second with $381K, Regal Irvine Spectrum was third with $307K, AMC Empire 25 in NYC was fourth with $261K and Regal LA Live was fifth with $253,6K. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen we say the movie largely played everywhere, it did. EntTelligence shows that smaller markets commanded a similar share of attendance, if not greater than metro areas, i.e. High urban areas (2.5M+ population) accounted for 17% of Odyssey, followed by Urban (1.5M-2.5M) at 26%, medium 500K to 1M at 25%, rural 100k-500k at 27%, with small towns (less than 100K) yielding 5% of admissions. <\/p>\n

\n\tTop ten cities were LA ($7.5M Friday-Saturday gross), NYC ($6.7M), San Francisco ($3M), Chicago ($2.8M), Dallas ($2.8M), Toronto ($2.7M), DC ($2.6M), Houston ($2.1M), Atlanta ($1.966M) and Philly ($1.96M). <\/p>\n

\n\tUpdated over indexing regions by box office gross include West, Mountain and South Central. <\/p>\n

\n\tBreaking down the whole large format and Imax of it. All enchanced formats\u2013Imax, PLFs, 70MM\u2013generated 53% of the domestic opening. Imax\u2019s near 24% share of the weekend B.O. is their third highest share ever behind Nolan\u2019s Interstellar and Oppenheimer. Imax 70MM was responsible for 4%, which was we told you is a big deal since there\u2019s only 34 auditoriums. Overall 70MM was 7% share (including Imax cash). EntTelligence shows that 70MM brought in 5% of admission while 2D was 95% (that\u2019s very similar to Oppenheimer). PLFs were 20% share, and of that Dolby generated 4%. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to the top five grossing Imax 70MM venues, they were as follows 1.) TCL Chinese with $367K, 2. Regal LA Live with $206K, 3. AMC Metreon 16 San Francisco with $173K, 4. AMC Lincoln Square with $172K and Regal Opry Mills in Nashville with a near $169K.<\/p>\n

\n\tMidweek business for these PLF and Imax sites is going to be huge, read even the No. 12 grossing 70MM Imax theater, the Harkins Arizona Mills in greater Phoenix ($106K for weekend), has sold out shows for a week. The 7:45am showtime alone there was sold out for Odyssey. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe marketing machine for The Odyssey began a year ago literally when the first Imax 70MM tickets went on sale. That was a bold move, and an unprecedented one \u2014 arguably the first time any major motion picture studio had the cajones to put tickets on sale for an event film a year out. The promise: one of the most spectacle filmmakers was adapting a foundational text. The sellouts indicated a very hot indicator of buzz.<\/p>\n

\n\tUpdated market stats: Rentrak reports that summer for the first Friday in May through this past Sunday stands at $2.79B, just behind 2019\u2019s $3B at the same point in time. This weekend is coming in for all titles grossing $193.5M, +41% from the same frame last year. The 2026 YTD B.O. is raging at $5.4B, +10% over the same Jan. 1-July 19 period in 2025. That\u2019s the best post-Covid and $1B behind where we were in 2019. <\/p>\n

\n\tSATURDAY AM:<\/strong> Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey remains on course for the best live-action feature debut this year at the North American box office to date with $120.5M<\/strong> after Friday\/previews of $51.2M<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\n\tWe already told you that this is Nolan\u2019s third best opening ever in U.S.\/Canada, and so it is in opening days as well. The Odyssey ranks behind Dark Knight Rise\u2018s first Friday\/previews of $75.7M and Dark Knight\u2018s $67.1M.<\/p>\n

\n\tOverseas, The Odyssey is bound for $137.3M<\/strong> in 73 markets bringing its global opening to $257.8M<\/strong>, which is the third highest opening YTD after Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($372.5M) and Toy Story 5 ($312M). It\u2019s also Nolan\u2019s biggest global opening ever ahead of The Dark Knight Rises ($198M) and Oppenheimer ($180M).<\/p>\n

\n\tAs far as that $137M+ offshore start goes, that\u2019s Nolan\u2019s biggest foreign debut ever ahead of Oppenheimer and Dark Knight Rises. The 2x Oscar winning filmmaker is notching his biggest opening of all-time in 45 markets including France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, and Brazil. It\u2019s also Universal\u2019s biggest opening ever in 11 markets.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere in the states, if these numbers hold, The Odyssey will rank as the fifth best opening for an R-rated movie after Deadpool & Wolverine ($211.4M), Deadpool ($132.4M), Deadpool 2 ($125.5M) and It: Chapter One ($123.4M). Overseas, The Odyssey is the second biggest opening of all-time for an R-rated feature behind Deadpool & Wolverine ($233.3M in reported opening).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Universal theatrical release lands Nolan his fourth solid A CinemaScore after Oppenheimer, Dark Knight Rises, Dark Knight and Batman Begins (Dunkirk received an A-). In Screen Engine\/Rentrak exits, the near three hour epic gets a strong 81% definite recommend, and the best definite recommend with men over 25 at 84, who showed up as the majority quad at 43%.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore than any star in this very starry film, the chief reason why moviegoers went to see it was Nolan, hands down at 51%. The cast as a whole was the second reason why people went at 44% while Damon ranked 27%. As we told you previously, The Odyssey is Damon\u2019s biggest opening ever at the domestic box office. For Robert Pattinson, The Odyssey is his fifth highest opening ever at the domestic B.O., but it\u2019s his fifth to open north of $100M after Twilight: New Moon ($142.8M), Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2 ($141M), Twilight: Breaking Dawn 1 ($138.1M) and The Batman ($134M). <\/p>\n

\n\tThere was some walk-up to this feature which has sparse availability of Imax seats in its opening weekend at popular locations like the AMC Lincoln Center, AMC Citywalk, and Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria with 47% buying their tickets same day Friday versus 53% who purchased tickets in the last week or more according to PostTrak. Imax and PLFs are driving 52% of the business; broken out that\u2019s 25% for the former, and 27% for the latter. Odyssey is raking in cash everywhere across the nation, but popping the most in the Mountain and Western regions. The TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, which rarely (if ever) ranks as the top grossing venue in the nation is The Odyssey\u2018s top leading single location with $242,5K in the bank so far (The venue just installed a 70MM Imax screen). Not surprising at all, but The Odyssey\u2018s top ten theaters all have an Imax or 70MM screen or both. The expectation here is that Imax and 70MM auditoriums will be filled for weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tDiversity demos on Odyssey are 50% Caucasian, 24% Latino and Hispanic, 12% Black, and 9% Asian American. Overall guy leaning at 59%. After men over 25 (43%), the second most attended demo was women over 25 (31%), men under 25 (16%) and women under (10%). Largest age group was 25-34 with a near 30%. The under 35 set is the majority here at 55%.<\/p>\n

\n\tOverall weekend for the entire domestic marketplace is filing $187.7M, which is +40% from a year ago when DC\/Warner\u2019s Superman was leading the B.O. in its second frame with $58.4M. <\/p>\n

\n\tFRIDAY PM:<\/strong> Let the record breaking begin. Universal\u2019s Christopher Nolan epic The Odyssey<\/strong> is looking at a first Friday and previews of $50M<\/strong> which will catapult it to a $117M<\/strong> 3-day opening (note some rivals are see more in the $120M range) at 3,919 theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s the biggest opening for Matt Damon as a lead star, outstripping 2007\u2019s The Bourne Ultimatum ($69.2M), and it\u2019s the best opening for a live-action feature year-to-date at the domestic B.O., besting Lionsgate\u2019s Michael ($97.2M). Overall, it\u2019s the third highest opening YTD behind Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Toy Story 5 ($159.6M) and Illumination\/Universal\/Nintendo\u2019s Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($131.7M). <\/p>\n

\n\tOther records: The Odyssey is charting the highest grossing opening weekend for an R-rated film YTD ahead of Backrooms ($81.4M). It\u2019s also Universal\u2019s highest grossing opening weekend for an R-rated film, beating out Fifty Shades of Grey ($85.1M). As we already told you below, it\u2019s the third highest start for Nolan after The Dark Knight Rises ($160.8M) and The Dark Knight ($158.4M).<\/p>\n

\n\tTop 5 for the weekend is as follows:<\/p>\n

\n\t1.) The Odyssey (Uni) 3,919 theaters, Fri $50M, 3-day $117M\/Wk 1<\/p>\n

\n\t2.) Moana (Dis) 4,200 theaters, Fri $6M, 3-day $19M (-56%), Total $82M\/Wk 2
Not a bad hold for live-action Moana if it can hold. Disney is holding onto more than 500 PLF, Screen-X, and D-Box screens despite Odysseus invading multiplexes. <\/p>\n

\n\t3.) Minions & Monsters (Uni) 3,505 theaters, Fri $4.6M, 3-day $14.5M (-31%), Total $137.2M\/Wk 3<\/p>\n

\n\t5.) Evil Dead Burn (NL) 3,004 theaters, Fri $1.6M, 3-day $5M (-64%), Total $24.1M\/Wk 2<\/p>\n

\n\tFRIDAY AM UPDATE after Thursday exclusive:<\/strong> Universal is calling the Thursday night previews for Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey at $17.6 million. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s the best preview number of 2026 year to date, ahead of Toy Story 5\u2018s $17.5M. <\/p>\n

\n\tBreaking down last night\u2019s gross, 25% came from Imax digital screens, 25% came from exhibitor-owned PLF screens (that includes Dolby, Screen-X), 5% from Imax 70MM screens (excellent, considering there is only 34 of them), and 3% from regular 70MM. Add it all up and that\u2019s 58% from Imax, PLFs and 70MM prints. Fandango just reported that Odyssey is its No. 1 preseller of 2026 (we told you that advance ticket sales were around $40M).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to the sellout of Imax seats, well, that just depends on the theater and the showtime. There\u2019s two open front rows at Universal CityWalk\u2019s 7 p.m. show at the time of this post, while AMC Lincoln Square has several Imax showtimes sold out, with a handful of seats in 70MM and Dolby. Regal\u2019s shiny revamped Sherman Oaks Galleria location has the three front rows available in its RPX auditorium with its cushy Mercedes Benz-like seats for 6:15 p.m., while the Imax 7:15 show only has a handful of front seats.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC Burbank\u2019s first show today for The Odyssey was at 7:10 a.m., while its latest show was at 1:50 a.m. Saturday. AMC Lincoln Square kicked off at 7 a.m. today and is playing shows well into the middle of the night, with a 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. showtime on Saturday (sounds fun: a near 3-hour movie, then breakfast, then sleep).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal, is playing everywhere \u2014 not just the coasts but deep into markets like Houston, Denver, Vancouver and Toronto in addition to B.O. capitals L.A. and NYC.<\/p>\n

\n\tToday\u2019s revised preview figure of $17.6M is exactly the same as Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman in 2022, which went on to post a $56.6M Friday\/previews figure and a $134M 3-day opening It\u2019s $100,000 higher than the next year\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, which posted $48.1M first Friday\/previews and a $118.4M start. It\u2019s also just under the $18M of Universal\u2019s 2022 Jurassic World: Dominion, which posted a $59.5M first Friday and 3-day of $145M. So, it\u2019s pretty safe to say we\u2019re looking at a $100M-plus opening weekend for the big-screen take of Homer\u2019s epic poem. The weekend\u2019s global outlook is $200M-plus.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to the week, Disney\u2019s live-action Moana ends its with $63M at 3,875 theaters. Tuesday was the Dwayne Johnson\u2019s movie best day with $7.3M. That first-week take is -13% behind the star\u2019s first week of San Andreas ($72.6M), which ended its domestic run at $155.1M.<\/p>\n

    \n\tPREVIOUS EXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Universal\u2019s Christopher Nolan epic The Odyssey is sailing to previews tonight around $15 million give or take.<\/p>\n

    \n\tIf that figure posts, it will rank as the best preview we\u2019ve seen so far this year for a live-action title, ahead of Lionsgate\u2019s Michael ($12.6M previews, $97.2M U.S. opening).<\/p>\n

    \n\tOn Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score for The Odyssey stands at 96%, the best ever for a Nolan film, ahead of the 94% audience grades for Batman Begins, Dark Knight and Memento, as well as the filmmaker\u2019s multi Oscar winner Oppenheimer (91%).<\/p>\n

    \n\tAlready, The Odyssey\u2018s previews are ahead of Oppenheimer\u2018s ($10.5M), which was also beefed up by large-format premium-screen ticket sales. That biopic, with Barbie leading the weekend at the time, saw a $33M Friday\/previews and a 3-day of $82.4M. Currently, The Odyssey ranks as the British filmmaker\u2019s third best preview night stateside behind Dark Knight Rises ($30.6M) and Dark Knight ($18.5M).<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe question remains this weekend whether The Odyssey will cross over into non-premium format auditoriums. Most audiences are willing to wait and see Odyssey in the best seats and best showtimes possible. Sources told us that advance tickets sales heading into the weekend were around $30M-$40M (By comparison, Wicked: For Good clocked $60M in advance tickets before its $147M U.S.\/Canada opening, while Deadpool & Wolverine counted $50M in presales, that sequel opening to a R-rated domestic record $211.4M). Imax 70MM showtimes for The Odyssey sold out a year in advance, and if you\u2019re looking for Imax or large-format seats in the next three days, chances are you\u2019ll be sitting in the front row, cranking your neck up at the screen.<\/p>\n

    \n\tSo then how does Odyssey\u2018s previews stack up to other appointment-viewing movies, which are promoted and driven by Imax sales?
