'The Odyssey' breaks records at the box office
The new Christopher Nolan movie 'The Odyssey' has broken box office records across the world. The three-hour-long film made over $290,000 from just one cinema in London. The movie theatre had its highest three-day opening weekend in history. The previous weekend record was held by 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' in 2017, with another Nolan-directed movie 'Oppenheimer' in third place. 'The Odyssey' is also doing well in the USA. It is the biggest domestic opening of the year for a non-animated film. The world's largest theatre operator AMC Entertainment reported high ticket sales. It had screenings at 2 am, 3 am, and 6 am in some cities to meet demand. Almost all seats were sold out.
'The Odyssey' is a 2026 action fantasy film. It was written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It is based on an epic 2,700-year-old poem written by the ancient Greek poet Homer. The story is about a Greek king called Odysseus. Viewers see his dangerous ten-year journey home after fighting in the Trojan War in around 1200 BC. On his travels, he meets many mythical creatures. The movie has a star-studded cast including Matt Damon and rapper Travis Scott. 'The Odyssey' has had many positive reviews. Nolan has also received a lot of praise. Movie expert David A. Gross said: "Nolan is the only filmmaker working today who could take an ancient story like this ... and make it a pop culture event."
