‘The Odyssey’ Box Office Prediction: Will Christopher Nolan’s Epic Put A Break On ‘Dhamaal 4”s run?
This Friday, Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated fantasy action thriller “The Odyssey” will arrive in theaters. The filmmaker, known for his immersive storytelling and top-notch technical execution, enjoys a massive fanbase in the country, as evidenced by the phenomenal box-office performances of his previous films, including “The Batman Trilogy” and “Oppenheimer.”
“The Odyssey” has been grabbing eyeballs and making headlines, from its promotional assets to the global tours of the cast and crew. While the excitement among cinegoers to witness this movie on the big screen is at its pinnacle, it would be interesting to see whether it impacts the business of Ajay Devgn’s “Dhamaal 4,” which is going strong with over ₹82 crore in just five days.

Apart from being a solo release, it will also enjoy a clean run for two weeks with no big movies arriving on July 24.
Based on Homer's “Odyssey”, the movie features Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron in pivotal roles. The music and camera departments are handled by Nolan’s frequent collaborators, Ludwig Goransson and Hoyte van Hoytema. It is the first film to be shot entirely on IMAX's 70 mm film cameras.
