Summary
- The Odyssey must earn over $1.7 billion to surpass Jurassic World.
- Jurassic World holds Universal's worldwide box office record.
- The Odyssey faces competition from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Christopher Nolan's new film, The Odyssey, is poised to challenge Universal Pictures' box office crown. The film aims to surpass the colossal $1.7 billion worldwide gross set by Jurassic World in 2015.
Jurassic World, directed by Colin Trevorrow, remains Universal's highest-earning movie, with $653.4 million domestically and over $1 billion internationally. The film's total worldwide gross stands at an impressive $1.67 billion.
The Odyssey, which retells Odysseus's epic journey home after the Trojan War, faces a significant challenge in reaching this ambitious financial target. It must not only draw massive audiences but also sustain strong word-of-mouth.
Adding to the competitive landscape, The Odyssey will contend with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, potentially impacting its box office performance. The film is scheduled for release on July 17.
