For further proof, one only has to look at the box office performance of The Odyssey. Seeing such a stark difference between these two box office runs raises questions about why The Odyssey has been the much larger box office draw. Up until The Odyssey, the biggest box office stories were indie horror movies Obsession and Backrooms, with Toy Story 5 the only typical “summer movie” performing within expectations. The Odyssey is still trailing Oppenheimer at the worldwide box office. All that being said, The Odyssey has exceeded box office projections from the start.
