The Odyssey’s Opening Shows Premium Formats Can Carry a $250M Literary Epic
Early estimates place The Odyssey’s domestic opening near $117 million to $120.5 million after approximately $51 million from Friday and previews. Universal reported $17.6 million from Thursday previews, with one accessible report saying 58% came from premium formats. The film was reportedly produced for about $250 million, making the result an early test of whether premium-priced IMAX and large-format screenings can de-risk a major literary-IP adaptation.
