Nolan’s Odyssey Shatters Box Office Records | Anchorage News

Christopher Nolan’s epic new film “The Odyssey” is smashing box office records, raking in over $264 million globally in its opening weekend — bigger than “Oppenheimer” and Nolan’s best debut since “The Dark Knight Rises.” With a $250 million budget and $125 million in marketing, the R-rated blockbuster is drawing massive crowds, including midnight and 3 AM showings that sold out, thanks to Nolan’s legendary pull. IMAX screens are dedicating three weeks to the film, with just 41 screens generating $6.3 million — hailed as a global cultural event. Despite controversy over casting, the film’s critical and audience reception is stellar, with a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and “A” CinemaScore. Audiences are flocking in droves, proving Nolan’s enduring power to revive theater-going — and this summer could be the best for domestic box office since 2019.
