Deadline • 7/17/2026

Universal's The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, is set to launch its weekend voyage with Thursday previews estimated around $15 million in the U.S. If this figure holds, it will be the highest preview earnings for a live-action title this year, surpassing Lionsgate's Michael, which had $12.6 million in previews and a $97.2 million U.S. opening. The film's audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is also noted.
