Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (2026) has shattered box office records, grossing $1.008 billion in its first three weeks of release. The epic film, based on the ancient Greek epic poem, surpassed the billion-dollar milestone, outpacing Nolan's previous hits "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Dark Knight" which earned $1.08 billion and $1.008 billion respectively.
The Odyssey achieved this impressive feat earlier than anticipated, even before its opening weekend in China, where it is set to premiere on August 14. With IMAX screens contributing $257 million in ticket sales, "The Odyssey" is on track to become Universal Pictures and Synopsis's highest-grossing film to date. The film's success is attributed to a star-studded cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal, all portraying characters from Homer's timeless tale of Odysseus' journey home from the Trojan War.
