This market centres on whether The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of Homer's poem distributed by Universal Pictures, will exceed $120 million in U.S. domestic box office receipts over its opening weekend of July 17–19, 2026. The film arrives as one of the most anticipated releases of the summer, with early tracking projections ranging between $100 million and $120 million — making the $120 million threshold a meaningful benchmark at the upper bound of current estimates, distinguishing a record-breaking breakout from a strong but expected performance. Traders are weighing pre-release tracking data, Nolan's recent box office track record with original event films, comparable premium-format and IMAX-driven openings, and the film's broad demographic appeal to assess whether The Odyssey can clear this milestone in its first three days of wide release.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves YES if The Odyssey's 3-day opening weekend domestic gross, as reported in the final Weekend Box Office Performance figures on The Numbers (https://www.the-numbers.com/), strictly exceeds $120,000,000. It resolves NO if the figure is $120,000,000 or below. A gross of exactly $120,000,000 resolves NO as it does not exceed the threshold. It resolves to Tie if no final figure can be confirmed from any credible resolution source; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. 2. Definition of "Opening Weekend Gross": "Opening weekend gross" refers to the Weekend Box Office Performance figures for the 3-day window of July 17–19, 2026, as published on The Numbers under this film's page, which typically includes Thursday preview receipts in the weekend total. Domestic refers to the figures as reported by The Numbers for this market, regardless of whether that figure covers the USA only or USA and Canada.
3. 3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary resolution source is the Weekend Box Office Performance figures for The Odyssey published on The Numbers (https://www.the-numbers.com/). This market will not resolve until the reported figures are confirmed as final (i.e., not studio estimates) on The Numbers. Box Office Mojo (https://www.boxofficemojo.com/) serves as a secondary confirmation source — if there is ambiguity as to whether The Numbers figures are final, this market remains open until both sources have confirmed finalised figures.
4. 4. Resolution Timing: The market resolves as soon as reasonably practical after both The Numbers and Box Office Mojo have published confirmed final figures for the July 17–19 opening weekend. If no final data is available from either source, another credible box office reporting source will be selected as the resolution reference.
5. 5. Handling Delays and Data Gaps: If The Numbers' figures remain in estimated status beyond July 20, 2026, 12:00 AM UTC, the resolver will designate an alternative credible box office source (such as Box Office Mojo or Comscore/PostTrak) and resolve based on that source's final confirmed 3-day opening weekend domestic figure. The same $120,000,000 threshold and "strictly exceeds" standard applies regardless of which source is used.
6. 6. Ambiguities and Disputes: If The Numbers and Box Office Mojo report materially different final figures, The Numbers takes precedence as the primary source. If The Numbers' page for this film does not publish a Weekend Box Office Performance figure in the expected format, the resolver will interpret the available data in a manner most consistent with the market's original intent and the standard industry definition of a 3-day domestic opening weekend gross.
