Two major films are dominating the global box office. Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' has earned approximately $639-640 million worldwide after two weekends, according to multiple reports. Disney and Pixar's 'Toy Story 5' has surpassed $1 billion globally, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.
Reports agree that 'The Odyssey' grossed about $284 million domestically and $353 million internationally. Its second weekend brought in $87 million in the U.S., a 30% drop from its $123.5 million debut, per Variety. Deadline reports a worldwide second weekend of $215.3 million, an 18% decline from its $263.7 million global opening.
Differences in framing emerge: Deadline emphasizes 'The Odyssey' holding strong and its Imax contribution of $140 million (53% of global total). Variety focuses on 'Toy Story 5' crossing $1 billion with $448 million domestic and $573 million international, calling it the year's top earner. Another Variety report highlights 'The Odyssey' surpassing $600 million quickly, calling it a 'staggering turnout.'
Only Deadline mentions the Imax percentage and the exact global opening figure for 'The Odyssey.' The reports agree on the overall success but differ in which film they spotlight and the specific box office milestones they lead with.
