For 62 straight days, The Odyssey pulled in at least a million dollars a day in North America. On its ninth Thursday in theatres, day 63, that run finally broke, with the film grossing $798.5K.

It's not a bad way to lose a streak. Christopher Nolan's epic action-fantasy now sits fifth on the all-time list of longest $1-million-a-day runs at the North American box office, a list Nolan had never previously cracked. Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick still holds the top spot, having strung together 75 days above the million-dollar mark. The Odyssey came up 13 days short of catching it.

The slide has an obvious cause. Resident Evil opened wide this past week and, according to Koimoi, has taken over most of the IMAX screens that were feeding The Odyssey's numbers. IMAX has been doing heavy lifting for Nolan's film through its entire run, and losing that real estate to a fresh release was always going to show up in the daily figures eventually.

Still, two months in theatres without dropping below seven figures is not a small thing. The film has now crossed $604.85 million domestically. Trade projections put its final North American haul somewhere between $625 million and $635 million, with an outside shot at touching $650 million if it can claw back some screens once the Resident Evil rush cools off.

That $650 million ceiling isn't guaranteed. A lot rides on how long Resident Evil keeps its grip on multiplexes and IMAX houses through the rest of September. If Nolan's film can hold even modest daily numbers through October, the higher end of that range stays live. If it fades the way most films eventually do once a new blockbuster muscles in, $625 million might be closer to the final print.

Either way, this is the kind of legs Hollywood rarely sees from a film built on original material rather than a franchise or a sequel. Two months of theatrical dominance against a stacked release calendar, capped by a top-five all-time streak, is the sort of run studios plan entire release strategies around and almost never get.

For now, The Odyssey keeps playing, just with smaller numbers attached to each new day. The next checkpoint worth watching is whether it can string together a second, shorter streak once Resident Evil's opening rush settles and some of those IMAX screens free up again.
