## Summary

Christopher Nolan's new film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey has opened in cinemas and is already proving popular on streaming, even before its own streaming release. The film, which stars Matt Damon as Odysseus alongside Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland, has become Nolan's highest-rated feature among critics to date and has drawn sold-out screenings in various formats worldwide, underlining strong early demand ahead of official box office figures.

A companion documentary, The Odyssey: The Making of an Epic, debuted on Peacock on the same day as the film's theatrical release and quickly climbed to number four on the platform's US Top 10 Movies chart. Box office figures for The Odyssey itself have not yet been confirmed, though Deadline reports around $17.6 million in preview takings, with a North American opening projected between $90 million and $100 million. No date has yet been announced for the main film's streaming debut.
