The Odyssey has crossed Rs 138 crore net at the Indian box office, surpassing Oppenheimer to become Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film in the country, trade data showed on Friday, July 31, 2026.
Trade tracker Sacnilk reported the film added roughly Rs 3 crore on Day 15, taking its cumulative India net collection to around Rs 138.40 crore since its release on July 17.
Oppenheimer’s full theatrical run in India had earned Rs 129 crore net, making it the 13th Hollywood film to cross the Rs 100 crore net mark in the country at the time.
The record arrived close to Nolan’s birthday on July 30, adding a notable detail to a milestone trade analysts had been tracking closely.
The Odyssey’s cast includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.
Trade reports note that despite generating more revenue, The Odyssey has drawn fewer overall footfalls in India than Oppenheimer did, a gap attributed to differing ticket prices and premium-format demand.
The milestone arrived close to Christopher Nolan’s birthday on July 30, adding a symbolic dimension to the record for trade watchers tracking the director’s India box office history.
The Odyssey opened strongly in its first week, collecting around Rs 85.50 crore net in its opening seven days before settling into a steadier run through its second and third weeks.
Shot largely on IMAX cameras, the film continues Nolan’s long association with the large-format technology, a factor trade analysts say has historically boosted his films’ premium-format revenue share in India.
The Odyssey stars an ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron, and released in Indian cinemas on July 17, 2026.
Oppenheimer had become just the 13th Hollywood film to cross Rs 100 crore net in India during its theatrical run, with IMAX screens contributing close to 40% of its business in its second week.
