Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ has beaten ‘Oppenheimer’ at the box office in just 13 days

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has already beaten his Oscar winning epic Oppenheimer at the box office in just 13 days. AdvertisementNow, according to Forbes, The Odyssey will pass that figure just 13 days after its release. The blockbuster has not yet passed Nolan’s The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises’ domestic box office totals, which were $534million (£399million) and $448million (£334.7million), respectively. Despite that, a leading classics professor recently slated the movie slated, arguing it lacks “psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth”. In a five-star review, NME said that “cinema may have peaked” with Nolan’s epic and concluded: “It’s hard to see how cinema can get much bigger than this.”
