Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is smashing box office records, now the highest-grossing R-rated film ever with $1.446 billion globally—just shy of “Barbie” and poised to overtake “Oppenheimer” soon. Starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, this epic retelling of Homer’s classic has earned nearly three times what Nolan’s earlier take on ancient myth, “Troy,” made. Despite stiff competition from “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” “The Odyssey” thrives on critical acclaim and audience buzz, boasting high Rotten Tomatoes scores. Domestically it’s raked in $539 million, internationally $907 million—returning over five times its budget for Universal. It’s not just a blockbuster; it’s shaping up as a major awards contender.
