Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has surpassed the $1 billion mark at the international box office, extending its theatrical run with nearly four weeks remaining. The epic retelling of the ancient Greek tale has earned $1.59 billion globally, solidifying its status as Nolan's most profitable film and the 17th movie to achieve this milestone.
This accomplishment stands out as the first standalone, non-sequel, non-remake to reach this level since James Cameron's Avatar in 2009. Audiences have clearly embraced The Odyssey, with Universal Pictures International's president of distribution, Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, expressing pride in the partnership with Nolan, Emma Thomas, and Syncopy for delivering this visionary cinematic experience.
The film's success was highlighted by breaking another record in late August, surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-Rated film ever. Ryan Reynolds, known for his Deadpool franchise, congratulated The Odyssey on social media, praising it as an "incredible" movie. The extended IMAX showings in select theaters until September 30 present a final opportunity for audiences to experience the film in its intended format, adding to its already impressive box office performance.
