The adaptation of Homer’s poem is the third R-rated film to top $1 billion, after Joker and Deadpool & Wolverine, and the fifth movie of 2026 to do so. Backed by a cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, it is still showing on the biggest formats around the world, with Irish movie-goers travelling to the UK to capture the spectacle in IMAX 70mm.
