The Odyssey Smashes Box Office Records for Christopher Nolan
At 4:00 · chapter starts 2:56
Dale Willman tosses to NPR film critic Bob Mondello for a remarkable box office story. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — an epic adaptation of the ancient Greek tale — zipped past the $500 million mark on Friday, and is on course to end its first full 10 days with approximately $640 million worldwide. The key metric is the second-weekend drop: while most blockbusters shed around 50% of their opening, The Odyssey fell by just 19%, a figure that signals what the film industry calls 'legs.' Mondello notes this is a faster pace than any previous Nolan film, surpassing benchmarks set by Oppenheimer and the Batman franchise. Current projections put The Odyssey on a trajectory to become the third Nolan film to surpass $1.2 billion in total ticket sales — a rarefied achievement for any filmmaker.
