Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is projected to pass $400 million at the North American box office during its third weekend, overtaking Oppenheimer and surpassing the domestic total of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.

It reportedly cost $250 million to produce, took about $15 million on its third Friday and is forecast to add more than $50 million over the weekend; it also holds 94% from critics and 97% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
