More about the film’s anticipated performance in China
According to the report, the $2.54 million in pre-sales you listed only covers the August 8–16 release window. It does not include the money already earned during the earlier limited preview screenings on August 1 and August 2. In other words, before its full August 14 release, The Odyssey had already secured roughly $3.2 million at the Chinese box office through a combination of completed preview grosses and advance ticket sales.
The Odyssey received 8.3 stars from the audience who had already watched it during last weekend’s previews. It could challenge Tenet as the biggest Christopher Nolan hit at the box office in China. It could also challenge F1 and Free Guy for the title of the biggest non-franchise Hollywood hit in China. The Matt Damon starrer The Odyssey will be released in China on August 14.
