Claim
As of July 22, 2026, The Odyssey has grossed $199 million in the United States and Canada, and $164 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $364 million.
Correction

These box-office totals do not match the stated date. Major trackers show The Odyssey had about $181.7 million domestic through July 22; it did not reach about $199.4 million domestic until July 23.

Full reasoning

The sentence is internally dated "As of July 22, 2026", but the domestic total it gives corresponds to later data.

Both The Numbers and Box Office Mojo show that after the film's Wednesday gross on July 22, 2026, its domestic total stood at $181,746,315. The Numbers then shows the film reaching $199,371,800 only after July 23, 2026. In other words, the article's $199 million domestic figure is not correct as of July 22.

The Numbers also lists the film's current totals as $199,371,800 domestic, $164,156,717 international, and $363,528,517 worldwide. That means the rounded $364 million worldwide figure reflects later reporting, not the July 22 timestamp attached to this sentence.

So the problem is not just rounding: the article is mixing later box-office totals with an earlier 'as of' date.

Claim
for a domestic total of $124.5 million from 3,919 theaters.
Correction

This domestic-opening number is an estimate, not the final reported total. Major box-office trackers list The Odyssey’s opening weekend at about $123.5 million, not $124.5 million.

Full reasoning

This sentence gives The Odyssey's domestic opening weekend as $124.5 million, but the finalized box-office figures now available from major trackers are lower.

Both Box Office Mojo and The Numbers list the film’s domestic opening at $123,502,900. The Numbers also shows the day-by-day breakdown that sums to that final opening-weekend total: $50,977,435 on Friday, $41,735,485 on Saturday, and $30,789,980 on Sunday. Those figures total $123,502,900, not $124.5 million.

So the Wikipedia text appears to preserve an earlier studio estimate rather than the finalized opening-weekend actuals.

Claim
The Dark Knight Rises ($190.9 million in 2012)
Correction

The $190.9 million figure is wrong for a domestic opening-weekend comparison. The Dark Knight Rises opened domestically to about $160.9 million, not $190.9 million.

Full reasoning

The surrounding sentence is explicitly comparing domestic opening weekends for Christopher Nolan films. In that context, listing The Dark Knight Rises at $190.9 million is incorrect.

The finalized domestic opening weekend for The Dark Knight Rises was $160,887,295, according to The Numbers. Box-office reporting and historical charts consistently place The Dark Knight at $158,411,483 and The Dark Knight Rises at about $160.9 million, which is why they rank above The Odyssey's opening. A figure of $190.9 million does not match the domestic opening weekend reported by major trackers.

Claim
Oppenheimer ($180 million)
Correction

This figure is wrong in the context of domestic opening-weekend comparisons. Oppenheimer opened domestically to about $82.5 million, not $180 million.

Full reasoning

The sentence is comparing The Odyssey's domestic opening weekend with prior R-rated Universal openings. In that context, listing "Oppenheimer ($180 million)" is incorrect.

Both Box Office Mojo and The Numbers list Oppenheimer's domestic opening weekend as $82,455,420. NBCUniversal also used $180 million to describe Oppenheimer's combined domestic and international opening-weekend earnings, not its domestic opening. So the article appears to have inserted Oppenheimer's worldwide opening into a domestic-opening comparison.

That makes the $180 million figure factually wrong as written here.

Claim
Internationally, it debuted to $130.6 million from 12,700 theaters in 73 markets
Correction

The international opening figure is wrong. Universal and Box Office Mojo report an international debut of about $140.3 million, not $130.6 million.

Full reasoning

Universal’s own July 20, 2026 box-office release says The Odyssey launched in 73 international markets and earned an estimated $140.3 million internationally. Box Office Mojo likewise lists $140,297,000 international for the film. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the movie debuted internationally to $130.6 million. The market count is consistent, but the dollar amount is understated by about $9.7 million.
