As it keeps climbing the all-time box office charts, can it outshine the Chinese beast Ne Zha 2 worldwide to break into the all-time top 5 grossers? Keep scrolling for the deets.
The big-budget epic is the biggest R-rated movie worldwide, with a stronghold even weeks after its release. It is the first film ever to cross the $500 million milestone in IMAX screenings. The mythological epic features an ensemble cast and could earn Nolan another Oscar after Oppenheimer.

Can The Odyssey beat Ne Zha 2 worldwide?
Ne Zha 2 took the world by storm when it was released in 2025. It is the only film ever to cross $2 billion in a single market. The Chinese juggernaut collected over $2.27 billion at the worldwide box office, and after Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it has been pushed to #5 among the all-time global grossers.
The Odyssey ranks #11 on the all-time top-grossers list worldwide. For the uninitiated, the Christopher Nolan-helmed movie is still $1.097 billion short of surpassing Ne Zha 2’s worldwide haul. The epic is on track to earn around $1.9 billion in its global run, so it will not be able to beat Ne Zha 2, nor will it break into the all-time top 5 list of highest-grossing films worldwide. Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey was released on July 17.
