The Odyssey smashes Star Wars records with a monster box office debut
Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' has defied all expectations, pulling in a colossal $124.5 million domestically and $264.1 million globally in its opening weekend, according to Variety. This is a huge win for a film based on ancient Greek poetry.
One key driver was a massive Imax performance, with the format contributing a stunning $52 million to the domestic start. The film's success wasn't just financial, it was record-breaking.
In the U.K., 'The Odyssey' has dethroned a modern titan. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the film beat 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' to become the highest-ever three-day grosser at London's prestigious BFI Imax theater. That single-screen venue is now the number one Imax location internationally thanks to Nolan's epic.
