The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, is one of the biggest hits in Hollywood history because of its subject matter. There is probably no other mythological epic in Hollywood that has earned this much box-office success in its lifetime. The film continues to dominate major overseas markets. It has remained above $1 million at the North American box office for more than a month. Keep scrolling for the deets.

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

The epic movie has collected a solid $2.2 million at the North American box office on its 7th discounted Tuesday, down just 25.7% from last Tuesday. It is again the biggest 7th Tuesday ever for R-rated movies, beating Obsession’s $1.7 million gross. It has also beaten Barbie’s $901k 7th Tuesday gross as the biggest ever for July releases.

The Odyssey surpasses Barbie’s 46-day streak as the #6-longest streak of staying above $1 million at the domestic box office post-COVID. It is now after Michael’s record streak. After 47 days of release, the box office total of the Christopher Nolan movie in North America is $568.06 million [via Box Office Mojo]. It is the third-highest-grossing Universal release in North America all time.

Can it beat The Avengers & break into all-time top 15 in North America?

For the unversed, The Odyssey has surpassed the global haul of The Avengers this past weekend. Still, it has yet to beat the MCU blockbuster in its home territory. The Avengers, released in 2012, is the first film in the Avengers franchise and collected $623.3 million at the domestic box office. After over a decade, it stands as the all-time #15 highest-grossing film at the North American box office. Now, can The Odyssey beat it?

According to reports, the mythological epic is tracking to earn between $610 million and $630 million in its domestic run. Therefore, based on this projection, The Odyssey will not surpass The Avengers, nor will it break into the all-time top 15 box-office grossers in North America. However, it has surpassed the Marvel blockbuster’s $1.52 billion global haul. The Odyssey was released on July 17, and its current global total is $1.557 billion.
