The Odyssey continued to exert a mighty hold on moviegoers in its second weekend in North American theaters, with $87 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. That's only a 30% drop from its first weekend, an incredibly modest slide for a blockbuster, the AP reports. It's also filmmaker Christopher Nolan's best second weekend ever, not accounting for inflation. In 2008, The Dark Knight earned $75.2 million in Weekend 2. With $128.3 million from international theaters, The Odyssey has made an estimated $639.6 million globally. Theaters around the world are adding showtimes to try to meet the demand.
As with last weekend, much of that sum is from premium large-format screens. IMAX screens alone accounted for $48 million of the global earnings this weekend. The coveted 70 mm IMAX screens, of which there are only 41 worldwide, earned $5.2 million. Most of those showtimes are sold out through September, the company said. There was no significant new competition this weekend or last. Regardless, the second weekend earnings is rare for a movie that opened over $100 million. For an R-rated movie, it's second only to Deadpool & Wolverine. But the open waters will become more crowded next weekend when audiences get another blockbuster option with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which shares actors Tom Holland and Zendaya with The Odyssey. Still, Nolan's film will have its run of most IMAX screens for weeks to come.
With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak:
- The Odyssey, $87 million.
- Moana, $10.5 million.
- Toy Story 5, $10 million.
- Minions & Monsters, $9.7 million.
- Hadestown, $9.6 million.
- The Invite, $2.6 million.
- Evil Dead Burn, $2.6 million.
- Young Washington, $2 million.
- Motor City, $1.6 million.
- Obsession, $1.5 million.
