TL;DR Summary
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opened to about $123 million domestic and over $263 million worldwide, quickly pushing global totals past $320 million in under a week and signaling Nolan’s strongest global debut; the summer box office shows fatigue for franchises with underperformers like Moana (live-action), Supergirl, and other sequels, though hits such as Toy Story 5 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie buck the trend, while low-budget horror Obsession and Backrooms post surprising grosses ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
