The Odyssey Eyes $20 Million Tuesday as It Nears Nolan’s $20.86 Million Record

Summary
$20 million in Tuesday sales would put The Odyssey within reach of Christopher Nolan’s best domestic Tuesday, needing to top The Dark Knight’s $20.86 million from 2008.
The film already ranks second among all Tuesdays this year behind Toy Story 5’s $23.69 million and second among Universal Tuesdays behind Jurassic World’s $24.3 million.
Imax and other premium large-format screens will stay with The Odyssey for a second weekend, supporting a projected 40%-50% drop to $61.8 million-$74 million.
That hold would put it in range of Nolan’s top second weekends, though analysts do not expect Dark Knight-style comparisons because superhero films were more front-loaded.
The strong run has left the coming weekend largely clear of major wide studio launches before Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives.
