Summary
Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” exploded at the box office, raking in $264 million globally in its debut weekend — smashing “Oppenheimer”’s opening and matching his best since “The Dark Knight Rises.” With a $250 million production cost and $125 million in marketing, the R-rated epic was a massive gamble — but Nolan’s name alone drew record crowds, including sold-out midnight and 3 AM showings and IMAX screenings that pulled in $6.3 million from just 41 screens. IMAX’s 70mm format and dedicated theater runs are fueling the momentum, while Nolan’s post-pandemic theater advocacy continues to pay off. With zero competition and rave reviews, “The Odyssey” is riding high — until July 31st, when “Spider-Man” arrives, ready to test its reign.
