The Odyssey (Universal)
BOT Domestic 2nd Weekend Forecast Range: $69 — 81 million

Key Tracking Factors & Rationale:

  • With the best domestic Monday gross ($18.68 million) and second best Tuesday (estimated $21.4 million) of 2026, Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation remains on a wave of incredible momentum at the box office. The film has amassed over $163 million from North America alone through five days of play and is well on its way to becoming just the second R-rated film in history to hit $400 million-plus domestically through its entire run (which won’t be ending anytime soon).
