Oppenheimer ($180 million)
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.

"Oppenheimer" ... deliver[ed] an impressive $180 million in both domestic and international earnings during its opening weekend.
Internationally, it debuted to $130.6 million from 12,700 theaters in 73 markets
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.
