Christopher Nolan’s latest film, The Odyssey, had a huge opening weekend, earning $264.1 million worldwide. In the US, it made $124.5 million, and internationally it brought in $139.6 million. This is Nolan’s biggest opening ever and the biggest live-action movie opening of 2026, surpassing even his previous hits like The Dark Knight Rises and Oppenheimer. The film’s success proves Nolan’s ability to create must-see cinematic experiences. A big part of its success came from premium formats like IMAX, which accounted for almost $52 million globally, showing that audiences love his films on the biggest screens possible.
The new movie The Odyssey, based on the classic poem by Homer, features a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. Filmed entirely with IMAX cameras, this nearly three-hour film is rated R but has already proven popular with young adults (ages 18-34), earning an “A” grade from audiences and praise from critics for its grand scope and ambitious storytelling. Although it cost a substantial $250 million to make and another $125 million to promote, The Odyssey is off to a strong start at the box office and looks set to be a major hit until Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes out later this month.
