Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ storms the box office
It’s a larger-than-life epic tale with an equally impressive box-office opening.
Christopher Nolan’s big-budget adaptation of The Odyssey launched with just shy of $265 million in global ticket sales.
It’s an even better debut than the 2023 best picture-winner Oppenheimer and his best opening since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.
With a production budget of $250 million, The Odyssey is among the most expensive R-rated films ever made.
Few filmmakers alive could pull off a starry, big-budget adaptation of Homer’s epic poem. But in a Hollywood where intellectual property rights rule most hits, Nolan turned one of the world’s oldest works of literature into an unlikely summer blockbuster.
