\n\tFor the first time since Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> opened on July 31, Universal and Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/a> can throw a galley parade over the fact that it\u2019s grabbed the No. 1 spot at the global weekend box office with $45.96M WW over the Sony\/Marvel Studios\u2019 title\u2019s sixth frame of $44.1M WW. It\u2019s another case of a Tom Holland-Zendaya movie besting another Tom Holland-Zendaya movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we told you, Odyssey became the 17th movie to cross $1 billion at the international box office. With a running global cume of $1.627 billion ($584.7M of that from domestic), the Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Holland ensemble is nearing Jurassic World\u2018s $1.67 billion worldwide cume to become the highest grossing movie ever for Universal. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe mini-triumph comes in Odyssey\u2018s eighth weekend with the launch of Japan previews on 62 Imax screens, which rang up $755K. The Imax exclusive run, which has also seen sell-outs similar to the U.S., runs until Sept. 11 when Odyssey goes wide. Odyssey posted an eighth 3-day domestic of $13M with another $32.9M from 84 foreign territories.<\/p>\n

\n\tImax drove $22.2M global ticket sales (4-day was $27.2M) for Odyssey, the large format exhibitor\u2019s highest grossing movie of all-time now at $486M. Of that, the foreign weekend is $16.4M, while North America delivered $6.2M over 3-days ($7.7M over 4-days). <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day counts a solid $2.4 billion at the global box office ($1.485B int\u2019l, $917.8M domestic through Sunday), making it the third-highest grossing movie of all time, and it will likely stay there behind Avatar ($2.9B) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.799B). Through Monday, Brand New Day\u2018s domestic total will stand at $923M. Despite the fact that the movie will be $13.66M away stateside from overtaking Disney\/Lucasfilm\u2019s Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the highest grossing movie ever in North America ($936.66M), the delta to best Avengers: Endgame at the global B.O. is too far to cross.<\/p>\n

\n\tOdyssey had a great fifth weekend in Korea of $7.6M, -33%, for an $80M cume, becoming Universal\u2019s biggest film ever and surpassing Aladdin there to become the fifth-biggest MPA title of all-time. The pic is still No. 1 there. <\/p>\n

\n\tOdysseus in China\u00a0added a strong $5.6M this weekend, ranking No. 3 behind two local holdovers, with a cume of $98.4M, still the second-biggest Nolan film of all-time there behind Interstellar. Germany made $2.1M, -23%, for a cume of $59.3M. UK & Ireland\u00a0enjoyed an excellent hold in weekend 8, -38%, for a No. 2 rank of $2M and a running total of $111.2M. Over the new coming days, Nolan\u2019s best of all-time there will move into the country\u2019s top 10 best ever, overtaking\u00a0Star Wars: The Last Jedi\u00a0and\u00a0Top Gun Maverick. Odyssey was No. 3 in France with $1.6M and a running total near $86M, this despite the end of school holidays prompting a drop in overall cinema-going.\u00a0The pic is the fourth biggest Hollywood film of all time\u00a0there and\u00a0Universal\u2019s biggest film ever. Odyssey had the best hold of any title in Australia, -8%, with the territory boosted by a National Cinema Day on Sunday. The weekend result totaled $1.5M to reach $44.3M, surpassing the lifetime of\u00a0Avengers: Infinity War\u00a0to become the\u00a0No. 11 film of all time, having already become the\u00a0biggest Uni film ever. Odyssey was No. 2 in Italy with $1M, repping 19% of the market\u2019s business and a cume of $64.1M. It\u2019s the\u00a0second biggest Hollywood film of all time, and\u00a0Universal\u2019s biggest film ever.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpider-Man: Brand New Day saw $18M from its domestic 3-day ($23M over the 4-day Labor Day holiday) and $26.1M from 24,300 screens in 67 markets.
