Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Officially Defeats DC’s Best Fantasy Movie at the Box Office

Collider · 1 month ago

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has surpassed Wonder Woman’s lifetime US box-office total, becoming a larger domestic hit than what the article describes as the DC Extended Universe’s strongest fantasy film. Its performance is notable because the 173-minute, R-rated film is now close to $1 billion worldwide despite competition from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The film has earned about $415 million domestically and is expected to pass Nolan’s The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises globally, potentially becoming his highest-grossing release. Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson, it has received a 94% critics’ score and 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes; its acclaim could also strengthen its awards prospects following Nolan’s Oscar success with Oppenheimer.

  • The Odyssey has overtaken Wonder Woman’s US box-office total.
  • It is nearing $1 billion worldwide despite its R rating.
  • Strong reviews may bolster its awards chances.
