The Odyssey is Universal’s third biggest hit ever at the box office in North America. It has its eyes set on the domestic haul of The Super Mario Bros Movie to become Universal’s all-time top 2. However, there is still a significant gap before it can reach its goal. Christopher Nolan still has access to IMAX screens so that it could beat The Super Mario Bros. Movie at the North American box office. Scroll below for the numbers.

Inches away from crossing $550 million in North America

The mythological epic has lower box-office drops than Spider-Man: Brand New Day in North America. It collected a solid $2.3 million on its 6th Wednesday at the domestic box office, declining just 33.7% from last Wednesday. It stays put at the 2nd spot in the domestic box office rankings. After 41 days, the film’s domestic total has hit $547.2 million. It is less than $5 million away from surpassing the $550 million milestone at the North American box office.

How much more is needed to beat the domestic haul of The Super Mario Bros Movie?

The Odyssey has become Universal‘s all-time 3rd highest-grosser at the box office in North America. It is right behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie in the top 20 of the all-time North American box office list, at #19. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is the all-time #18 highest-grossing film in North America and Universal’s 3rd-highest-grossing film ever.

According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, The Super Mario Bros Movie collected $574.9 million at the box office in North America in its lifetime. The Odyssey is less than $30 million away from surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the all-time second-highest-grossing Universal release domestically. Since the Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway starrer epic is tracking to earn around $600 million in its domestic run, the film has a good shot at beating The Super Mario Bros Movie in North America and becoming Universal’s #2 biggest hit ever.
