Mumbai, July 19 - Director Christopher Nolan has once again expressed his admiration for Indian cinema, this time highlighting S. S. Rajamouli's RRR as a landmark film that demonstrated the industry's ability to connect with audiences across the globe.

Nolan also spoke about India's unique movie-going culture, calling it one of the greatest film cultures in the world. He recalled being deeply impressed by the passion of Indian audiences during his earlier visits and said that the enthusiasm for cinema is unlike anything he has experienced elsewhere.

The highly anticipated Hollywood epic, The Odyssey, has made a thunderous debut at the Indian box office, proving once again that high-concept international cinema has a massive footprint in the domestic market. On its opening day, the film collected a net of 16.10 crore rupees across a wide release of 8,413 shows. This strong start has pushed the total India gross collections to 19.22 crore rupees on day one itself. The narrative's scale and visual ambition seem to have resonated deeply with the Indian audience, particularly in the urban centers where premium screens are driving the revenue. The digital footprint of the film is perhaps even more impressive than the raw collection figures. On the popular ticketing platform BookMyShow, The Odyssey recorded a total of 611.53K tickets sold for its opening day. This was a combination of a very strong pre-sale period, which accounted for over 340,000 tickets, and a massive Friday surge that added another 271,530 tickets. These numbers place the film in elite company, ranking as the fourth-highest Hollywood opener in terms of Day 1 ticket sales on the platform. Here is how the top five Hollywood openers currently stand in terms of BookMyShow Day 1 sales: Deadpool & Wolverine: 842K Avatar: Fire and Ash: 840K The Conjuring: 814K The Odyssey: 612K Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: 487K (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The trajectory of these pre-sales provides a fascinating look at how the buzz for the film intensified as the release date approached. While the initial weeks of June saw a steady but modest interest, the momentum shifted gears significantly in mid-July. The final three days of the pre-sale period were particularly explosive, with daily bookings jumping from roughly 36,000 to over 114,000 tickets just before the Friday premiere. This surge highlights how the marketing campaign successfully converted general awareness into definitive ticket sales in the final stretch. Here is the detailed daily breakdown of the pre-sale journey on BookMyShow: 8 June: 12.7K 20 June: 8.24K 29 June: 5K 30 June: 5.1K 1 July: 5.52K 6 July: 5K 7 July: 5.4K 9 July: 5K 10 July: 10.46K 11 July: 18.2K 12 July: 20.3K 13 July: 23.01K 14 July: 36.91K 15 July: 63.81K 16 July: 114.84K Final Pre-Sales: 339.49K (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A closer look at the performance in national chains reveals that the film dominated the multiplex environment. According to the daily advance and performance data, the top three chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—accounted for a significant portion of the opening day gross. The total gross from these national chains stood at approximately 9.5 crore rupees from roughly 163,600 tickets sold. PVR led the charge with about 89,400 tickets sold, generating a gross of 5.3 crore rupees. INOX followed with nearly 52,700 tickets contributing 2.9 crore rupees, while Cinepolis added approximately 21,500 tickets with a gross of 1.3 crore rupees. The average occupancy across these chains was a healthy 20.20 percent over 3,745 shows. The Odyssey wave is particularly evident when comparing it to other recent Hollywood releases. By selling over 612,000 tickets on its first day, it comfortably outpaced the opening of Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, which recorded 487K tickets. This suggests that the film has successfully transitioned from being a niche interest to a mainstream phenomenon in India. The sheer volume of shows—over 8,400 across the country—indicates that distributors had high confidence in the film's appeal, a gamble that appears to have paid off given the 16 crore plus net opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the film enters its first weekend, the momentum is expected to build even further. With very little competition in the high-spectacle genre right now, The Odyssey has a clear path to dominate the premium formats like IMAX and 4DX. If the word-of-mouth remains as strong as the initial ticket sales suggest, we could be looking at one of the highest-grossing Hollywood films of the year in India. The next few days will be crucial to see if the film can maintain its 20 percent plus occupancy rates as it expands its reach beyond the major metros.

Mumbai, July 18 - Christopher Nolan has achieved a new milestone in India as The Odyssey registered the biggest opening day of his career at the Indian box office. The epic fantasy adventure collected 20.75 crore gross on its first day across all languages, surpassing the opening-day collections of the filmmaker's previous blockbuster Oppenheimer (17.50 crore gross) in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong debut also ranks among the biggest Hollywood openings ever in India and marks the best start for an international film in 2026. The record-breaking opening was fueled by excellent bookings, packed IMAX shows, and strong occupancy across premium multiplex chains.

Worldwide, The Odyssey scored $40 million through Thursday (Friday numbers not included), including 17.60 million from domestic (North America) previews. The movie is projected to score $110+ million in North America and $120+ million internationally, for the worldwide opening weekend of $230+ million, which will be the biggest non-Batman opening for Nolan.

Mumbai, July 18 - Christopher Nolan's film is often treated more as a global event than a standard movie release, and The Odyssey, the most ambitious film of the director's career, is certainly living up to that reputation. For months, the buzz surrounding this project has been building, fueled by Nolan's commitment to large-format practical filmmaking. As the film finally made its debut on July 17, it is not just the technical scale that is making headlines, but the critical and commercial reception as well. With a staggering 95 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, it has officially become the highest-rated film of Nolan's career, surpassing iconic masterpieces like The Dark Knight and Memento. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) To give you some context on how impressive this critical acclaim is, the film currently sits above Oppenheimer and Dunkirk in the director's filmography rankings. This level of praise is undoubtedly a driving force behind the strong turnout we are seeing in India. As for the box office, the film has had an excellent start in India, scoring Nolan's biggest opening with around 21 crores in gross, beating Oppenheimer's 17+ crores gross start. Overall, the worldwide opening day is around $100 million. The Odyssey is eyeing growth on its second day at the Indian box office. For context, the movie sold around 140K tickets in three national chains on the opening day, while second-day sales were around 150K in PIC (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis). If the momentum continues throughout the day, it will be aiming for 25 crore gross day. As of 9 AM on Day 2, the movie has already scored 1.75+ crores gross, indicating a solid day at the box office. The day 2 started on a strong note, with 25% occupancy in the English 2D version. The movie is once again strong in South Indian states, where overall morning occupancy is around 35%.

Mumbai, July 17 - Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema's Evil Dead Burn has delivered a strong performance at the Indian box office, emerging as the biggest opening week for a horror film released in 2026. The supernatural horror title wrapped up its first seven days with an impressive 25 crore gross, comfortably surpassing the 22 crore-plus opening week of Curry Barker's Obsession. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film collected 2+ crore gross on its seventh day, taking its first-week total to 25 crore gross. Despite facing competition from multiple Indian releases, Evil Dead Burn maintained steady collections throughout the week, with South India and major metropolitan cities leading its business. The result underlines the growing appetite for horror films among Indian audiences. The latest instalment in Sam Raimi's iconic Evil Dead franchise has also achieved another significant milestone by making India the biggest international opening weekend market for the film. During its opening weekend, the movie grossed approximately 15+ crore, outperforming every overseas territory outside North America and highlighting the franchise's strong fanbase in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With positive word-of-mouth and limited direct competition in the horror genre, Evil Dead Burn now has an opportunity to extend its theatrical run over the coming weeks. Having already overtaken Obsession to register the biggest first week for a horror film in India this year, the film has established itself as one of Hollywood's notable box office successes in the Indian market in 2026. Earlier, Obsession had an excellent run at the Indian box office. Despite starting slowly, the thriller grew exceptionally over the weeks due to extremely positive word of mouth. It became only the second Hollywood horror title to surpass the 100 crore gross mark in India, to emerge as one of the biggest non-Indian titles. It needs to be seen how far Evil Dead Burn can go.

Mumbai, July 15 - Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is all set to become one of the biggest theatrical events of 2026. The mythological epic, based on Homer's timeless classic, has generated tremendous anticipation worldwide thanks to Nolan's reputation, an all-star ensemble cast, and groundbreaking IMAX cinematography. With advance ticket sales remaining strong across premium formats, the film is poised for a massive global debut when it arrives in theatres this week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the latest Deadline report, The Odyssey is projected to open with $90-100 million in North America and more than $200 million worldwide during its opening weekend. The film could open to $100+ million domestically and over $220+ million worldwide, according to recent projections from Box Office Pro. A significant contributor to the film's box office prospects is the extraordinary demand for IMAX and other premium large-format screenings. The Odyssey is the first major feature shot entirely with IMAX film cameras, and several 70mm IMAX shows have sold out well ahead of release. If projections hold, it would be Nolan's biggest non-Batman opening ever and one of the biggest openings for 2026.

With a reported production budget of around $250 million, The Odyssey is also the filmmaker's most expensive project to date.

The anticipation for Christopher Nolan's upcoming masterpiece, The Odyssey, has reached a fever pitch in India. With only a few days left before its grand release on July 17, the buzz surrounding the film is unlike anything seen for a Hollywood release in recent years. This excitement was significantly amplified after Nolan himself, along with lead stars Tom Holland and Matt Damon, visited Mumbai to interact with fans. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the film is now set for a massive release across more than 2,500 screens in India, marking a much wider reach compared to Nolan's previous blockbuster, Oppenheimer, which opened in 1,923 screens. The financial expectations for the opening day are equally ambitious. While Oppenheimer set a benchmark with an opening of 14.45 crore, industry trackers suggest that The Odyssey is well on its path to bettering that number. Early estimates indicate an opening in the range of 17 to 18 crore, but given the current velocity of advance bookings, a 20 crore start is very much within reach. The demand for tickets has been steady since bookings opened early on June 8, reflecting the massive loyal fan base Nolan commands in the Indian market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A significant portion of this success is driven by premium formats. Christopher Nolan's films are widely considered essential theatrical experiences, especially in IMAX, and The Odyssey takes this to the next level as the first feature film shot entirely using IMAX cameras. This technical achievement has resulted in exceptional demand, with approximately 91,000 tickets already sold across India's 34 IMAX screens. This segment alone has generated a staggering 9.5 crore in gross ticket sales, proving that Indian audiences are willing to pay a premium for high-quality cinema. The advance booking data accessed by Bollywood Hungama further highlights the film's dominance. It has already sold around 1.25 lakh tickets for the opening day alone across all platforms. In the major national chains, PVR INOX has recorded sales of around 50,000 tickets, while Cinepolis has added another 12,000. Looking at the broader picture, nearly 2.50 lakh tickets have been sold for the entire opening weekend, ensuring a packed house for the film's initial run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Digital ticket sales on BookMyShow provide a detailed look at the film's rising popularity trajectory. As of today, July 14, the platform has recorded a cumulative total of approximately 142.6K tickets sold. This milestone was reached after the film sold 123.93K tickets between June 8 and July 13, followed by a massive surge on Tuesday. On July 14 alone, the movie has already sold 18,690 tickets as of 9 PM, with the 8 PM to 9 PM window recording a peak velocity of 2,200 tickets. This rapid acceleration in sales highlights the growing excitement as the release date approaches. In the national chains specifically, the daily advance booking for the opening day currently stands at approximately 63.8K tickets, generating a gross of 5.1 crore at an average occupancy of 16.1 percent across 1,661 shows. Breaking this down, PVR leads the charge with roughly 34.5K tickets sold and a gross of 3.0 crore. INOX follows with approximately 23.2K tickets contributing 1.6 crore, while Cinepolis has sold around 6.1K tickets, adding 55 lakhs to the tally. These rounded figures show a robust distribution of interest across all major multiplex venues in 408 different locations. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This surge in Hollywood interest comes during a highly successful month for the Indian film industry. July has already seen Dhamaal 4 performing beyond expectations, and now The Odyssey is poised to be another massive success. The month is expected to end on an even higher note with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is also seeing electrifying advance interest. For exhibitors and cinema lovers, the arrival of Nolan's latest venture is not just a film release, but a major cultural event that is set to rewrite box office records for international films in India.

Mumbai, July 14 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is stepping away from action spectacles for one of the most unconventional roles of his career. Warner Bros. has officially unveiled the first full trailer for Digger, the highly anticipated satirical black comedy directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu, while also confirming that the film will hit theatres worldwide on October 2, 2026, including IMAX screens. The trailer introduces Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an eccentric and immensely powerful oil magnate whose company triggers a catastrophic ecological crisis. Sporting heavy prosthetics, a potbelly, thinning grey hair, and a thick Southern accent, Cruise is almost unrecognisable in what is being described as his boldest transformation since Tropic Thunder. The film follows Rockwell's desperate race to convince the world that he can still save humanity before the disaster he unleashed spirals out of control. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed and co-written by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Digger boasts an impressive ensemble featuring Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sophie Wilde, Emma D'Arcy, Robert John Burke, and Burn Gorman. The film has been shot entirely in VistaVision, with Iñárritu describing it as a "comedy of catastrophic proportions" that blends satire, drama, and spectacle. The trailer has generated widespread discussion online, with many praising Cruise's dramatic physical transformation and predicting that the performance could become a major awards contender. After spending nearly a decade headlining the Mission: Impossible and Top Gun franchises, Digger marks Cruise's first major original, non-franchise film in years, making it one of Hollywood's most anticipated releases of 2026.
