LOS ANGELES — Christopher Nolan’s cinematic epic, The Odyssey, continues its monumental box office trajectory, fueling a Monday that is estimated to gross an impressive $17.5 million domestically.

If these figures hold, this marks the unprecedented best Monday year-to-date in the U.S. and Canada, decisively surpassing Toy Story 5’s $17.3 million Monday and the Memorial Day Monday performance of Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu at $16.4 million.

The film’s four-day domestic cumulative total now stands at a formidable $141 million, representing a 48 percent increase over Oppenheimer’s comparable Friday-to-Monday frame. Internationally, the epic has amassed $140.2 million, bringing the global debut to an astonishing $263.7 million—the most robust opening of Nolan’s illustrious career.

Exhibition metrics further underscore the film’s hegemony. TCL’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood reported a staggering $523,000 over the weekend, securing the venue’s biggest opening weekend of all time and eclipsing Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Meanwhile, premium large format screenings, particularly IMAX 70mm, remain fiercely contested in major metropolitan hubs like Los Angeles and New York City.
