Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' Storms the Box Office with a $264.1 Million Global Debut
IMAX demand drove midnight screenings as Universal said the film earned $124.5 million in the U.S. and Canada.
- Director Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" grossed $264.1 million in global ticket sales, including $124.5 million in the U.S. and Canada, Universal Pictures said on Sunday.
- Billed as Nolan's first feature shot entirely with IMAX cameras, the $250 million production leveraged the premium format to drive significant ticket sales demand.
- More than 50 theaters across North America added midnight and 3 a.m. screenings to meet demand, while audiences awarded the film an A CinemaScore and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Ticket sales are running about 10% ahead of last year, and the film faces no new-release competition before Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" premieres on July 31.
- Despite some commentators criticizing Nolan's casting of Lupita Nyong and Elliot Page, and Elon Musk calling the director a "coward" over the choices, the film became a major cultural event.
