Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…After 14 years, Christopher Nolan has returned to the Box Office Billion club, as Universal/Syncopy’s “The Odyssey” has become the fifth film of 2026 to gross $1 billion worldwide.
This is the third Nolan film to reach $1 billion, joining the Batman films “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012.
Now “The Odyssey” sets its sights on the all-time box office record for an R-rated film, currently held by the 2024 Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine” with $1.33 billion.
If the film passes $1.36 billion, it will top the 2023 animated film “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” to become Universal’s third highest grossing movie before inflation adjustment, sitting only behind the $1.67 billion total of “Jurassic World” and the $1.51 billion total of “Furious 7,” both of which were released in 2015.
And not for nothing, but the film is also on course to be Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film ever, surpassing the $1.085 billion of “The Dark Knight Rises.”
