Mumbai: Hollywood movies are currently dominating the Indian box office, leaving domestic films struggling to attract massive crowds. Two international releases are leading the charge, but the highly anticipated film The Odyssey has hit a massive roadblock on its path to the Rs 200 crore mark, thanks to the explosive debut of Spider Man Brand New Day.
The year 2026 has been exceptional for Hollywood releases in India. Early hits like Michael and Project Hail Mary performed well, followed by Obsession, which became the first movie of the year to cross the Rs 100 crore milestone in the country. The Odyssey arrived next, delivering a spectacular performance and breaking the records set by Obsession.
According to Sacnilk reports, The Odyssey continues to bring in moderate earnings. On its fifteenth day of release, the film minted Rs 3.15 crore. So far, it has secured a net collection of Rs 138.40 crore, while its gross collection stands at a strong Rs 165.16 crore. The film was smoothly heading toward the prestigious Rs 200 crore club before the superhero film arrived.
The release of Spider Man Brand New Day has completely altered the box office dynamics. Like a storm, the superhero flick shattered all existing Hollywood box office records in India within just two days. The movie has already amassed a staggering Rs 109.95 crore in net collections. Trade analysts consider this rapid collection nothing short of a miracle.
The Spider Man phenomenon has not only overshadowed Indian releases like Dhurandhar but has also challenged the historic records of massive blockbusters like Avatar and Avengers. With the new superhero movie expected to register even bigger numbers over the weekend, the journey for The Odyssey to cross the Rs 200 crore barrier has become exceptionally difficult.
