Box Office: ‘The Odyssey’ Stuns With $124 Million Opening Weekend, Third-Biggest Debut of the Year https:\/\/t.co\/ShQYzKxloj<\/a><\/p>\n

Conservatives will have to seethe, because Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey<\/b> not only performed well this weekend, but landed the third biggest opening of the year so far with $124 million domestic and $264.1 million globally. The only two films that opened bigger this year were Toy Story 5<\/b> and Super Mario Galaxy<\/b>, both of which are aimed at children, while The Odyssey <\/b>has an R-rating and a nearly three hour runtime. It has earned an A Cinemascore from movie-goers, as well as postive reviews from critics.<\/p>\n

Moana<\/b> fell 56% from its opening weekend for second place at the box office, earning $19 million for a total of $82 million domestic and $178 million worldwide. It has the same production budget of The Odyssey<\/b> at $250 million, but only one of those films is poised to be profitable.<\/p>\n

Minions & Monsters<\/b> and Toy Story 5<\/b> both brought in $14.8 million this weekend, effectively tying for third place with estimates, though the true numbers will be the tiebreaker tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Minions<\/b> has made $137 million in North America and $323 million worldwide after three weekends of release, which is low for the franchise records but will still turn a profit on an $85 million budget.<\/p>\n

Toy Story 5<\/b> has been out for five weekends and is still chugging along, approaching the $1 billion mark with $430 million domestic and $958 million worldwide so far.<\/p>\n

Last weekend’s debut Evil Dead Burn<\/b> came in the fifth spot with $5 million, bringing its total domestic gross so far to $24.1 million.<\/p>\n

And Supergirl <\/b>has fallen so far it is in ninth place in its fourth weekend of release, bringing in just $1.5 million. It has made $69.9 million in North America and $120 million in total on a $170 million budget.<\/p>\n
