The Odyssey debuts in China with solid numbers, recording one of the biggest opening weekends for Christopher Nolan movies. It is scoring solid numbers in China, but is it enough to break into the top 10 grossers post-COVID? It would need to surpass the lifetime haul of Meg 2: The Trench at the Chinese box office. It still needs a huge box-office collection in China to achieve this feat. Keep scrolling for the deets.

How much has the film collected so far at the box office in China?

Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus collected $4.8 million on its first Monday at the box office in China. It is the 11th biggest first Monday post-COVID for Hollywood releases. It drops by 50.5% from Sunday, despite playing in just over 42k screenings in China. In four days, the mythological epic’s box office total has hit $41.1 million in China.

How much will it need to break into the post-COVID top 10 Hollywood grossers in China?

According to industry analyst Luiz Fernando‘s report, at #10 in the post-COVID top 10 grossers in China is Jason Statham’s Meg 2: The Trench. It collected $115.7 million in China during its lifetime. Therefore, The Odyssey will have to first cross the $100 million milestone at the box office in China to edge closer to Meg 2: The Trench’s China haul and the top 10 post-COVID Hollywood grossers. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is at #4 with a collection of more than $210.7 million.
