Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens to $124.5 million domestically and $264 million worldwide — the biggest opening of Nolan's career, surpassing The Dark Knight Rises — with 70mm IMAX screenings alone accounting for $52 million. The two then turn to the FIFA World Cup final halftime show, which drew an estimated 2 billion global viewers and featured Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber, Shakira, the Muppets, and others in a production Burtt calls chaotic but effectively global in scope, with BTS standing out as the performance highlight. The segment closes with Netflix's decision to reduce its viewer data transparency reports from twice to once a year as subscriber growth slows, and a look at Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro, which surprised the industry by drawing 4 million viewers in its premiere — the first successful spinoff in the franchise's history.","meta_description":"Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley to break down a big weekend at the box office and beyond.
