Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" has launched to an estimated $264 million worldwide during its opening weekend, significantly exceeding expectations. The film grossed an estimated $124.5 million in domestic markets, with global interest potentially impacted by the FIFA World Cup final.

The movie performed exceptionally well internationally, achieving Nolan's highest opening weekend in 48 countries, including India. Key international markets like the U.K. and Ireland, and France also reported strong figures, with premium format screenings experiencing high demand.
