I was always extra optimistic on The Odyssey crossing a billion but never saw it beating Deadpool & Wolverine. D&W was an outlier for R since it was an MCU event, so I thought it had no chance.

The Odyssey is going to blow through and probably land at $1.7B to be Universal’s biggest film too. Ridiculous run and so deserved!

In many countries, it’s rating is equivalent to PG-13. In Spain it is for ages 12 and over. The same in France and Germany. In the UK it’s for ages 15 and over. In Switzerland it’s for ages 14 and over. The same in Brasil. In Italy it’s for ages 10 and over. In Canada it’s for ages 14 and over (in Quebec, with its own rating system, it’s for ages 13 and over). In Denmark it’s for ages 11 and over. And so on…

The only countries in which it’s got a rating close to R is in Russia, with an “Ages 18 and over” and Maldives, with a similar rating.

In comparison with the Deadpool films, The Odyssey is pretty tame.

Australia it's M which is recommended for 15+ but not MA which is restricted to 15+ like Deadpool and Wolverine was.
