Spider-Man: Brand New Day has commenced its box office journey on what can be described as an earth-shattering note. The movie is comfortably looking to score over $900 million globally, and it remains to be seen how close it can get to the billion-dollar mark.
With the arrival of Spider-Man, if you are wondering whether Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will take a hit, here’s what the current trend looks like. In the domestic market, The Odyssey is tracking for over $50 million in its third weekend against its second weekend haul of $90 million. The drop will be under 50%, which is sensational, meaning it would hold well in the upcoming days too.
Here comes the key part that makes this observation all the more interesting. The Odyssey is yet to be released in the world’s second biggest theatrical market, China. The anticipation is exceptional for the epic fantasy action drama in the this territory based on audience interest on ticketing platforms.
If Chinese audiences receive The Odyssey well, then we might be looking at another round of box office typhoon. Already, The Odyssey is confirmed to be the highest-grossing R-rated film, and it will be interesting to see how far the Chinese market can take it beyond the $1.33 billion mark, which is the record for an R-rated film currently held by Deadpool & Wolverine.
