Mumbai, August 16 - Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Brand New Day has created history at the worldwide box office. The Tom Holland-led blockbuster has crossed the $2 billion mark globally, becoming the first Spider-Man movie in history to achieve the milestone. The film's extraordinary theatrical run has now taken it into one of the most exclusive clubs in cinema history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The achievement is even more remarkable considering the speed at which Brand New Day has reached the milestone. The film has crossed $2 billion in just 20 days, making it the second-fastest movie ever to reach the $2 billion mark, behind only Avengers: Endgame, which achieved the feat in 11 days. Ne Zha 2 took 33 days, while Avatar: The Way of Water needed 39 days and Avatar took 47 days. The milestone represents a phenomenal turnaround for the Spider-Man franchise. Spider-Man: No Way Home previously stood as the highest-grossing Spider-Man film worldwide, finishing its theatrical run at around $1.92 billion. Brand New Day has now comfortably surpassed that figure by the third Sunday and has established a new franchise benchmark. It had already become one of the biggest theatrical successes of 2026 after crossing $1 billion worldwide in just six days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's journey to $2 billion has been powered by an extraordinary opening and strong legs across domestic and international markets. Brand New Day opened to around $941.8 million worldwide, including a record-breaking $360 million domestic (North America) opening weekend, before continuing its momentum through subsequent weeks. With the $2 billion milestone now achieved, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become only the 8th movie in the world to do so and has officially joined the most elite group in box-office history. More importantly, it becomes the first Spider-Man film to cross $2 billion worldwide, giving Tom Holland's superhero film a record that previous franchise entries could not achieve.

Mumbai, August 16 - The Indian box office witnessed a strong surge on Independence Day 2026, with the combined collections of the major releases crossing the 100 crore gross mark on August 15. Leading the charge was Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2, which emerged as the clear winner of the day, while Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 also recorded a significant jump. The strong holiday business comes despite a crowded theatrical landscape that also includes Spider-Man: Brand New Day and other ongoing releases. Awarapan 2 was the biggest contributor to the Independence Day box office. After opening at around 22 crore net (26.50 crore gross) on Friday, the sequel recorded a substantial jump of over 50% on Saturday to score 33.75 crore net (40.50 crore gross), taking its two-day India net collection past 50 crore. Its India gross total stood at around 67 crore by the end of Day 2, while worldwide collections were 72 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Tamil superstar Suriya's Vishwanath and Sons was the second biggest film of the day with around 26 crore gross collection on August 15, after 17.75 crore gross opening day. The movie benefited from the positive word of mouth among family audiences and is expected to continue its strong run. The film's total India gross is around 43.50 crores after two days. Batwara 1947 also benefited heavily from the national holiday. The Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta starrer jumped by nearly 135% on Saturday, collecting around 13.50 crore net (16.20 crore gross), after the low opening day of around 7 crore gross (5.75 crore net). The film's two-day India net stood at approximately 19.25 crore, with its India gross reaching around 23 crore. The sharp jump gives the period drama a much-needed boost as it heads into the rest of the extended weekend.

Mumbai, August 15 - Marvel Studios has finally pulled the curtain back on its highly anticipated X-Men reboot, revealing the principal cast at D23. After months of speculation and casting rumours, Kevin Feige introduced the new generation of mutants, officially setting the stage for the X-Men's full integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is being directed by Jake Schreier, who previously helmed Thunderbolts, and is scheduled to hit theatres on May 5, 2028. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest names in the newly announced cast include Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm and Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier. Sink's casting had effectively been confirmed with her appearance as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, while Connor had been linked to the project before the official D23 announcement. However, the biggest surprise of the night was Adam Driver, who will not play Magneto as previously speculated. Marvel confirmed that Driver is joining the film as Nathaniel Milbury, the human identity of Mister Sinister, one of the most dangerous villains associated with the X-Men comics. His casting gives the reboot a major star-powered antagonist and could potentially establish Mister Sinister as an important villain in the MCU's upcoming mutant storyline. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The new X-Men movie will mark Marvel Studios' first standalone theatrical X-Men film following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox. The franchise is expected to become increasingly important to the MCU as Marvel moves beyond Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Several legacy X-Men stars, including Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, are also returning in Avengers: Doomsday, creating the possibility of the old and new mutant eras crossing paths before Marvel's new team takes centre stage. With Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Emma Frost and Professor X now officially cast, Marvel has given fans their first clear picture of the next generation of mutants. The 2028 release is expected to be one of the studio's biggest post-Secret Wars projects, with the new X-Men potentially becoming the backbone of the MCU's next major saga.

Mumbai, August 14 - Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has completed its second week on a sensational note at the Indian box office, with the Tom Holland-led superhero film grossing around 530 crore. It has already emerged as the highest-grossing non-Indian film and the first to cross 500 crore gross in the country, setting a new benchmark for Hollywood releases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has grossed around 130 crores in its second week, which is the biggest ever for a Hollywood film and one of the biggest at the Indian box office. However, the challenge for Brand New Day gets significantly tougher from here. The film is entering its third week with Awarapan 2, Batwara 1947 and Vishwanath And Sons arriving in cinemas and taking away a majority of the screens across the country. Despite the increased competition, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still maintaining a healthy run and is expected to make the most of the Independence Day weekend. The film has already demonstrated strong staying power, adding over 100 crore in its second week after an explosive opening week, and the national holiday period should help it remain relevant despite the reduced screen count. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The real test, however, will come after the Independence Day weekend. Once the holiday boost is over and the new releases settle in, it remains to be seen whether Spider-Man 4 can continue to score at the lower level with fewer shows and screens. At this point, though, the film has enough momentum and a sufficiently strong base to target a 575 crore-plus gross finish in India. If it manages to hold well beyond the weekend, an even bigger lifetime total cannot be ruled out.

Spider-Man has always held a special place in the hearts of Indian cinema-goers, and the latest outing, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is proving why this franchise remains a dominant force at the box office. After a high-octane start, the film has now entered its second week, showing the kind of steady performance that characterizes a long-term blockbuster. As we look at the numbers for the second Wednesday, the buzz remains healthy even as the initial frenzy begins to settle into a consistent theatrical run. On its fourteenth day, the film brought in a net collection of ₹6.45 Cr across India. To give you some context, this is a 24.1 percent drop from the previous day's collection of ₹8.50 Cr. While a dip is expected as we head deeper into the weekdays, the film managed to maintain a respectable presence across 12,602 shows nationwide. This latest addition brings the total India net collection to a massive ₹438.00 Cr, with the total India gross collections standing at ₹523.64 Cr so far. These figures place the movie in an elite bracket of Hollywood releases in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the language-wise breakdown for Day 14, the English version continues to lead the pack with ₹3.25 Cr. The Hindi market is not far behind, contributing ₹2.75 Cr. Regional markets like Tamil and Telugu added ₹0.30 Cr and ₹0.15 Cr respectively. If we take a step back and look at the overall journey, the English version has netted ₹239.25 Cr to date, while the Hindi version has crossed the ₹150 Cr mark, currently sitting at ₹158.40 Cr. Other regional versions, including Tamil at ₹23.25 Cr, Telugu at ₹16.30 Cr, Malayalam at ₹0.48 Cr, and Kannada at ₹0.32 Cr, have also played their parts in building this grand total. Occupancy rates provide an interesting look into how fans are choosing to experience this web-slinging adventure. For the English 3D version, the overall occupancy for the day was 13.83 percent. Interestingly, the numbers grew steadily as the day progressed, starting at 9.22 percent in the morning and peaking at 16.56 percent during the night shows. In terms of regional performance for English 3D, Bengaluru stood out with a 15.8 percent overall occupancy, followed by Mumbai at 9.5 percent and both Hyderabad and the National Capital Region at 8.3 percent. Pune recorded a lower occupancy of 7.8 percent for the same format. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Hindi 3D version saw an overall occupancy of 10.58 percent on its fourteenth day. Similar to the English format, the evening and night shows were the most popular, recording 12.33 percent and 11.75 percent respectively. In major Hindi-speaking regions, Kolkata led the way with a 12.8 percent occupancy, while Mumbai followed closely at 12.0 percent. The National Capital Region showed a 9.8 percent occupancy, and Ahmedabad reported 8.3 percent. These figures suggest that the 3D experience remains a preferred choice for the audience, especially during prime time hours. The role of national cinema chains in this success story is clearly visible through the daily advance booking figures. Across the major circuits, the movie saw approximately 51,000 tickets sold for the day, contributing nearly ₹1.7 Cr to the total earnings. When we break this down using rounded figures, PVR emerged as the primary contributor with roughly 28,000 tickets resulting in a gross of about ₹1.0 Cr. Inox followed with a solid performance of nearly 17,000 tickets and a gross around ₹0.5 Cr, while Cinepolis added its share with approximately 6,000 tickets and a gross of roughly ₹0.2 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On BookMyShow, the movie saw 135.66K tickets booked on the second Tuesday. While this dropped to 100K tickets on the second Wednesday, the cumulative total of tickets booked on the platform has reached a staggering 8,583,070. This volume of online transactions highlights the continued interest among the urban audience to catch the movie on the big screen. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is performing exceptionally well in North America. According to data from Venky Box Office, the film earned $20M on Tuesday, which brings its total North American collection to a massive $691M. This international momentum mirrors the trend we see in India, where the film has moved past being just a hit to becoming a significant cultural event of the year.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is showing remarkable staying power at the Indian box office as it completes its thirteenth day in theaters. While a second Tuesday typically brings a standard mid-week dip, this film has managed to buck the trend entirely. The movie earned 10.02 crore rupees in gross collections today, which marks a healthy 11.8 percent jump from yesterday's performance. This steady growth is a clear indicator that audience interest in these web-slinger adventures remains exceptionally high. The total net collection in India now stands at 431.55 crore rupees, with the gross collection reaching 515.95 crore rupees. These domestic earnings have been generated across a total of 203,249 shows held throughout India so far, underscoring the massive footprint the film has established. On a broader scale, the film has achieved a staggering worldwide gross of 16,600 crore rupees. This massive total is driven by the 515.95 crore rupees grossed in India and an additional 10,000 crore rupees from overseas markets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A significant reason for the Tuesday surge was the discounted ticket pricing across national chains. This strategy clearly paid off as tickets sold like hot cakes. If we look at the data from the national chains, which includes PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the ticket sales nearly doubled compared to Monday. On Monday, sales were around 54,000 tickets, but on Tuesday, the chains sold approximately 135,000 tickets. Specifically, PVR led the way with 75,000 tickets sold and a gross of 1.75 crore rupees at 12 percent occupancy. INOX followed with 42,000 tickets and 92 lakh rupees gross at 9.87 percent occupancy, while Cinepolis contributed 18,000 tickets and 43 lakh rupees gross at 7.18 percent occupancy. Combined, these three major chains brought in 3.10 crore rupees in gross revenue today. On the ticketing platform BookMyShow, the momentum remains steady. The film recorded 136,010 tickets on its second Monday and followed up with 135,660 tickets on its second Tuesday. The cumulative ticket sales on the platform have now reached a total of 8,483,070. These high volumes suggest that the film is effectively reaching both urban and semi-urban audiences across the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Diving into regional performance, the English 3D version saw an overall occupancy of 20.17 percent. The interest built up throughout the day, starting at 9.56 percent in the morning and peaking at 30.56 percent during the night shows. In terms of show counts, Mumbai led with 573 shows and 18.3 percent occupancy. The National Capital Region followed closely with 559 shows and a higher occupancy of 23 percent. Bengaluru showed the strongest demand among major metros with 25 percent occupancy across 441 shows. Other regions like Pune had 20.3 percent occupancy for 239 shows, while Kolkata sat at 16.3 percent for 147 shows and Hyderabad at 9.5 percent for 193 shows. The Hindi 3D version performed similarly well with an overall occupancy of 20.63 percent. It also followed an upward evening trend, moving from a 9.83 percent morning start to 28.08 percent at night. In the Hindi circuits, the National Capital Region was the top performer with 461 shows at 26 percent occupancy. Mumbai hosted 352 shows with 21.8 percent occupancy, while Pune showed high density with 25.3 percent occupancy on 135 shows. Kolkata stayed steady at 22.8 percent occupancy for 140 shows. Ahmedabad and Surat saw 16 percent and 8.5 percent occupancy respectively. Tracked gross footfalls for the day further support these numbers, with 164,276 for the English 3D version and 188,226 for the Hindi 3D version. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the global front, the film is smashing records at an unprecedented pace. According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America Monday gross was 17 million dollars, taking the domestic total there to 671 million dollars. By the end of Tuesday, the domestic total is expected to surpass 688 million dollars. This means Spider-Man: Brand New Day will officially overtake the total final gross of Avengers: Infinity War at the domestic box office tonight. It is currently ranked as the number eight blockbuster of all time after only 12 days of release. Furthermore, it is on track to break the 700 million dollar mark tomorrow, setting a new record by reaching that milestone in just 13 days.

The premium screen landscape in India is about to witness its first significant shift since July. For the past 24 days, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has enjoyed an unprecedented and exclusive run on IMAX screens across the country. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the film has amassed roughly 167 crore in total net collections, with a massive 74 crore coming solely from IMAX shows. This historic hold was made possible by the film's extraordinary reception, but the exclusivity is finally coming to an end this Independence Day weekend. Starting Friday, August 14, The Odyssey will begin sharing the IMAX format with the Anne Hathaway-starrer, The End Of Oak Street. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, the transition is expected to be smooth as both films are being handled by the same distribution team at Warner Bros in India. The strategy involves allocating two prime-time IMAX slots to the new dinosaur-themed spectacle, while the remaining three or four daily shows will continue to be held by the Nolan directorial. This ensures that the long-standing blockbuster still remains accessible to those who missed out on the initial weeks of its premium run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The distribution team is reportedly being quite strategic with its demands for regular 2D screens as well. Recognizing the heavy competition from the two major Hindi releases, Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2, they are keeping their requirements reasonable. For cinemas with three screens, the Hollywood newcomer is asking for just two shows, while theaters with four or more screens are expected to provide about three shows. For 4DX and IMAX formats, the requirement remains fixed at two shows per day, allowing local content to breathe during the busy holiday window. In a surprising move for moviegoers today, August 11, both The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are expected to see a massive spike in footfalls due to the Tuesday ticket offers. For the first time since its blockbuster release, Spider-Man has joined the discounted pricing scheme. Audiences can now find tickets for the superhero film in the range of 150 to 200 rupees for regular shows, with premium PXL screens priced at roughly 250 rupees. This is a significant change from last week when the film opted out of discounts due to its peak demand. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Perhaps the most noteworthy highlight for Tuesday is the pricing for The Odyssey. While the film has previously participated in regular screen discounts, its IMAX version is being offered at reduced rates for the very first time. Most IMAX theaters are currently selling tickets between 300 and 500 rupees. This rare move has resulted in extraordinary occupancy levels for the IMAX format today, as fans rush to experience the film on the biggest screens possible at nearly half the usual price. As the market prepares for a crowded August 14, these tactical discounts are helping the current titles maintain their momentum against the upcoming wave of new releases.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially etched its name in the history books of Indian cinema. By reaching an India gross of ₹505.93 crore, it has now become the highest-grossing Hollywood film ever in the country. This milestone isn't just about the numbers; it reflects the massive buzz that has surrounded this project since its announcement, fueled by a relentless global marketing campaign and the immense popularity of the character in India. Globally, the film is performing on an entirely different level, with a worldwide collection standing at a staggering ₹16,000 crore, supported by an overseas gross of ₹9,675 crore. If we look at the second Monday performance, the film collected ₹7.60 crore in net earnings. This represents a 78.1 percent drop from the previous day's massive ₹34.70 crore. Such a dip is expected for a blockbuster of this scale after a heavy second weekend. On Day 12, the film was playing across 12,765 shows nationwide. This takes the total India net collection to ₹423.05 crore. The film saw 356.5K tickets booked on Sunday and 136.01K tickets on Monday through BookMyShow, bringing the platform's total to over 83.47 lakh tickets sold so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Breaking down the Day 12 numbers by language, the English version led the way with ₹4.00 crore in net earnings from 5,294 shows, maintaining a 14 percent occupancy. The Hindi version followed closely with ₹3.00 crore from 6,339 shows, notably holding a much higher occupancy of 63 percent. The regional markets contributed smaller amounts, with Tamil earning ₹0.40 crore across 650 shows at 20 percent occupancy, and Telugu bringing in ₹0.20 crore from 482 shows at 13 percent occupancy. Over the course of its 12-day run, the total net language split stands at ₹232.00 crore for English, ₹151.65 crore for Hindi, ₹22.60 crore for Tamil, and ₹16.00 crore for Telugu, with Kannada and Malayalam contributing ₹0.32 crore and ₹0.48 crore respectively. When looking at the occupancy details for English 3D on Day 12, the overall rate was 15.28 percent. The day started slow with 11.22 percent in the morning and rose to 17.67 percent by the evening. In major regions, Chennai and Hyderabad saw the highest English occupancy at 28.5 percent and 26 percent. For the Hindi 3D version, the overall occupancy was 12.27 percent, with night shows performing best at 15.25 percent. In the North, Pune showed a solid 15 percent occupancy for the Hindi format, while the National Capital Region and Mumbai stayed around the 11 to 12 percent mark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) National cinema chains have played a vital role in this record-breaking run. For the second Monday, PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis collectively sold around 54,600 tickets, generating a total gross of roughly 1.8 crore. PVR led the charge with approximately 30,700 tickets, contributing about 1.1 crore to the total. INOX followed with nearly 17,000 tickets for a gross of around 0.5 crore, while Cinepolis rounded off the numbers with roughly 6,900 tickets and a gross of about 0.2 crore. These chains held more than 6,100 shows across 1,270 venues, maintaining an overall occupancy of nearly 4.5 percent. On the international front, North America continues to be a stronghold for the web-slinger. According to data from Venky Box Office, the film earned $45 million on Sunday alone, pushing its North American total to a massive $655 million. With a total of 190,398 shows tracked across India so far, the film is clearly not just a flash in the pan but a long-term player.

Mumbai, August 10 - The Indian box office witnessed another fascinating week as Hollywood continued to dominate the conversation, led by the historic run of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The Tom Holland-led Marvel blockbuster not only maintained its extraordinary momentum in its second weekend but also created history by becoming the highest-grossing non-Indian film ever in the country, surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the same time, Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut DC: The Bloody Valentine delivered a surprisingly strong start, giving the weekend another talking point despite arriving with a much smaller footprint. Brand New Day was already rewriting the record books after its phenomenal opening week, and the second weekend only strengthened its position. The film collected around 96+ crore gross over its second weekend, taking its India gross to nearly 497 crore and comfortably surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water, which had finished with around 477.50 crore. The achievement makes Spider-Man: Brand New Day the first Hollywood film to breach the 500 crore gross mark in India. What makes Spider-Man's run even more impressive is the sheer consistency after its record-breaking opening. The film opened with around 72.50 crore gross on Thursday and went on to cross 300 crore net within just four days. It remained exceptionally strong in the second weekend, scripting history for Hollywood. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the Marvel movie dominated the box office, DC emerged as the surprise performer of the week. The Arun Matheswaran-directed Tamil action thriller, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, opened at 5+ crore gross on Friday before jumping to 8+ crore on Saturday and 11 crore on Sunday. Its three-day India gross therefore stood at 24+ crore, representing a strong weekend for a film arriving without the scale or nationwide penetration of the major Hollywood blockbuster. The contrast between the two films makes the week's box-office story particularly interesting. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is operating at a completely different commercial level, breaking the biggest Hollywood records in the country and crossing 500 crore gross at an unprecedented pace. DC, meanwhile, has shown that a regional film with a distinct identity can still punch above its weight when audience interest translates into strong weekend growth.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently on a trajectory that is redefining what success looks like in the modern era of cinema. In just 12 days of release, the film has already reached a global cume of 1.67 billion dollars. This is a significant milestone because it has officially surpassed the original 1.52 billion dollar run of The Avengers. By doing so, it has secured its place as the fourth biggest comic book movie ever made. The momentum is showing no signs of stopping, with analysts expecting it to overtake Inside Out 2 early this week to join the all-time top 10 highest-grossing films. The pace at which this film is moving is particularly noteworthy. It is on track to cross the 2 billion dollar mark by next weekend. If it maintains this speed, it will become the fastest post-COVID release to hit that target and the second-fastest in history, trailing only behind the massive run of Endgame. Once it clears that hurdle, it will be looking to challenge the lifetime totals of Infinity War and The Force Awakens, which sit at 2.05 billion and 2.07 billion dollars respectively. For a film with a net production cost of 225 million dollars, the return on investment is already historic. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The international box office is the primary engine behind these numbers. The film has officially hit a 1.01 billion dollar international cume across 66 different markets. During its second weekend overseas, it brought in roughly 236 million dollars. What stands out here is the sustainability; the film saw a drop of about 59.4 percent from its opening weekend. This hold is notably better than previous blockbusters like No Way Home, which dropped over 64 percent, or Endgame, which saw a 67 percent decline in the same period. This suggests that the movie is benefiting from incredibly strong word-of-mouth worldwide. China has been a crucial market in this global conquest. The film has now officially entered the list of the top five highest-grossing Hollywood films in the Chinese box office for the post-pandemic era. With a cume of approximately 186.6 million dollars in just 12 days, it has moved past the 178 million dollar lifetime run of Avatar: Fire and Ash. It is currently gaining ground on Godzilla vs. Kong, which stands at 188.7 million. The Chinese market continues to show strong interest, with over 97,000 screenings recorded this past Sunday alone and steady pre-sales already coming in for the new week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to data shared by Venky Box Office, the North American performance is just as dominant. On Saturday, the film grossed 57 million dollars, taking its domestic total to a massive 610 million dollars. This performance has helped the overall summer box office in the US hit the 4 billion dollar mark, proving that the demand for high-quality theatrical experiences is stronger than ever. With major milestones ahead and several markets still showing high occupancy, the film is currently eyeing a final global run that could land anywhere between 2.5 billion and 2.7 billion dollars.

Christopher Nolan's latest epic, The Odyssey, is currently on a record-breaking rampage across the global box office. After just 25 days in theaters, the film has reached a massive 1.10 billion dollar global cume, officially becoming the highest-grossing film of Nolan's career. By surpassing the lifetime runs of legendary titles like The Dark Knight, Joker, and The Dark Knight Rises, it has now secured its position as the number two biggest release of 2026 and the second-highest-grossing R-rated film ever made. The international performance has been nothing short of spectacular. During its fourth weekend overseas, the film grossed a staggering 79.2 million dollars. What is truly impressive is the hold; despite the heavy competition, it saw just a slim 8 percent drop from the previous weekend. This brings its total international cume to 643.6 million dollars across 81 markets. Much of this recent momentum is attributed to a massive debut in Korea, with major markets like China and Japan yet to fully join the run in August and September.

On Sunday alone, the film added 3.5 million dollars from just 1,999 screenings, bringing its four-day preview total to 7.6 million dollars. This marks the biggest preview performance for a Hollywood film with under 2,000 screenings. The word-of-mouth in the region is incredible, with ticket buyers on Maoyan giving it a 9.7 score, which is the equivalent of an A+ CinemaScore. Pre-sales for the official August 14 opening are already at 2.8 million dollars with days still to go. One of the biggest headlines for The Odyssey is its absolute dominance in the IMAX format. It has officially become the highest-grossing IMAX film of all time globally, reaching a 289 million dollar cume.
