Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" has made the best start in his career as a director.
Christopher Nolan's new film "Odyssey" grossed $264.1 million worldwide in its first weekend. This was reported by Variety magazine on July 19.
Of the total box office receipts, $139.6 million went to the international market, and the film earned $124.5 million in the United States. For an R-rated film with a duration of almost three hours, which is not part of a popular franchise, such figures are considered record high. The UK and Ireland ($17.4 million), France ($13.7 million) and Italy ($11.5 million) generated the largest revenue among foreign markets at the start. In 48 countries, including France and Italy, Odyssey's debut was the best of Nolan's career.
The painting is based on an epic poem by Homer, created about 3 thousand years ago. Nolan acted as the screenwriter and director of the project. The main role of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, was played by Matt Damon. Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya and other Hollywood stars are involved in the film with him. The budget of the tape from Universal studio was $250 million.
Odyssey saw the biggest worldwide start to Nolan's career, beating 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises" ($249 million) and 2009's "The Dark Knight" ($198 million). In the overall rating of this year's premieres, the novelty took the third place, losing to the cartoons "Super Mario Galaxy in the Cinema" ($372.5 million) and "Toy Story 5" ($312 million).

With Odyssey, we have an exceptional opportunity to unite filmmakers around the world around a story that resonates with different cultures over the centuries.
The film became the first ever full-length film shot entirely on Imax cameras. This format accounted for 23% of revenue ($51.8 million). According to Imax CEO Richard Gelfond, the film's current performance is 47% faster than the collection rate of Oppenheimer, which won the Oscar in 2023. The film is scheduled to be released in South Korea, China and Japan in the near future.
