In the three weeks following its release, *The Odyssey* has grossed $429.65 million in North America and a further $578.8 million internationally. The total box office takings for the film, which runs for around three hours, have already exceeded $1 billion.
Nolan’s previous film to break this barrier was *The Dark Knight Rises*, released in 2012, which grossed around $1.08 billion.
At the same time, *Odyssey* is fast approaching the status of becoming the highest-grossing film of Nolan’s career. The record is currently held by *The Dark Knight Rises*, which grossed around $1.08 billion. The 2008 *The Dark Knight* grossed over $1.008 billion at the time.
As such, *Odyssey* has become the fifth film of 2026 to cross the $1 billion mark.
The following films have joined the Billion-Dollar Club:
- *Spider-Man: A New Day* ($1.18 billion and counting);
- *Toy Story 5* ($1.067 billion);
- *Super Mario: The Movie* (1.001 billion dollars);
- *Michael* ($1.001 billion).
‘Odyssey’ is expected to remain in cinemas, so the film could increase its takings even further and set a new box office record in Nolan’s filmography.
It is worth noting that *Spider-Man: A Brand New Day* became the highest-grossing film of 2026 in just 7 days.
