Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has delivered a stellar opening at the global box office, emerging as one of the biggest releases of the year. The epic drama grossed $264.1 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
In North America, the film collected $124.5 million, marking Nolan’s biggest opening since The Dark Knight Rises, which debuted with $160 million in 2012. It also registered the third-biggest opening of the year, behind Toy Story 5 ($159 million) and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($131 million).
The opening is particularly impressive considering The Odyssey carries an R rating, restricting younger audiences from purchasing tickets without an accompanying adult.
