The Odyssey has overtaken Oppenheimer to become Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film in India, crossing Rs 138 crore net at the domestic box office within 15 days of release.
Per trade tracker Sacnilk, the film added close to Rs 3 crore on its 15th day, Friday, July 31, 2026, taking the cumulative India net collection to around Rs 138.40 crore since its July 17 release.
Oppenheimer’s complete theatrical run in India had generated Rs 129 crore net, a figure that made it the 13th Hollywood title to breach the Rs 100 crore net mark in the country.
The new record fell close to Nolan’s birthday on July 30, adding a notable timing element to a milestone the trade had anticipated for days.
The film’s ensemble cast includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.
Trade watchers note that although The Odyssey has earned more in India than Oppenheimer, it has drawn fewer total admissions, a gap linked to differing ticket pricing and premium-format uptake between the two films.
Despite The Odyssey’s higher total revenue, trade reports note that Oppenheimer recorded higher overall footfalls during its run, reflecting differences in average ticket pricing and premium-format viewership between the two films.
The milestone arrived close to Christopher Nolan’s birthday on July 30, adding a symbolic dimension to the record for trade watchers tracking the director’s India box office history.
The Odyssey opened strongly in its first week, collecting around Rs 85.50 crore net in its opening seven days before settling into a steadier run through its second and third weeks.
Shot largely on IMAX cameras, the film continues Nolan’s long association with the large-format technology, a factor trade analysts say has historically boosted his films’ premium-format revenue share in India.
The Odyssey stars an ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron, and released in Indian cinemas on July 17, 2026.
