Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey earned $264 million globally in its first three days, the year's best box office for a live-action film.
With no major competition the following weekend, The Odyssey was projected to reach roughly $500 million in its first 10 days in theaters.
Christopher Nolan made The Odyssey entirely on IMAX cameras, a first in Hollywood history.
Exit polls showed 4 out of 5 viewers of The Odyssey said they would definitely recommend the film to a friend.
Matt Damon turned down Avatar to film Bourne Identity. The deal would have given him 10% of box office, which would have been worth approximately $250 million.
Matt Damon has approximately 100 acting credits compared to Leonardo DiCaprio's 48 (including TV), illustrating Damon's willingness to say yes to a wide variety of projects.
The Odyssey was playing in only about 41 IMAX theaters across the United States, making the full-scale cinematic experience a rare opportunity for audiences.
Leonardo DiCaprio has cited not doing Boogie Nights as his biggest career regret, though skipping it also meant he was available to make Titanic.
