Universal Studios announced that Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" will return to Imax theaters and 70mm screens this month, beginning on October 9. Nolan's epic, starring Matt Damon, has grossed $1.76 billion worldwide, making it Universal's highest-grossing film of all time and surpassing the $1.67 billion record set by "Jurassic World."
The film has also set records in other categories, including a career-best for Nolan, surpassing the inflation-adjusted total of "The Dark Knight Rises" and the all-time R-rated box office record. It is also the first non-sequel or remake since "Avatar" in 2010 to gross more than $1 billion outside of the U.S. and Canada. Donna Langley, Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment, praised the film as a "generational event" and a "brightly executed film in cinematic history."
The film marks the fruitful relationship between Nolan and Universal, which started when Nolan left Warner Bros. and joined the studio to produce "Oppenheimer."
