The Odyssey becomes Christopher Nolan's highest grossing film
‘THE ODYSSEY’ has become Christopher Nolan's highest grossing movie of all time at $1.1 billion. Surpassing ‘THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’.
Saw The Odyssey. Nearly 3 hours of my life that I can’t get back. Honestly don’t know what all the fuss is about. Other than the cinematography and some special effects, it was underwhelming.
I just saw it yesterday. It is such a good movie and if anyone sees this that hasn’t seen it, you really owe it to yourself to see it in theaters.
The difference being, I’m gonna watch the Dark Knight probably 40 more times in my life. Odyssey, maybe twice.
I don’t understand the conversation about highest grossing films when inflation is not taken into account. How can one even compare? Yes any blockbuster will out earn another when tickets are more expensive…
People and especially young adults are looking for Depth about who we are as Human Beings. Homer's poem stimulates the deeper regions in our Hearts & Souls that gives greater meaning to Existence of which today's Education bypassed that long ago - it's why we see the deeper suffering of mankind.
What a concept make movies with a good story, good direction, and actually made with are vs made within a focus group people will go to watch it.
Warner Bros fumbled BIG TIME with how they handled its 2021 releases, and now Universal is benefitting from having two of Chris Nolan’s most successful films outside Batman. I don’t see him going back to WB given current circumstances. Universal’s more stable and reliable atm.
Now’s a good time to say that the film’s producer and distributor, Universal Studios, has a land in one of their theme parks themed around Greek myth that has been essentially vacant for the better part of a decade. You know, you might be able to do something with that.
Me to the alt right grifters
And who's the King of Summer?
Nolan knows how to entertain the people. That said, I’m going to need him to start putting intermissions in his films since he’s decided he will never make a movie with a run time under 2hrs 30 mins. My bladder is not entertained!!! 😂

Dear Elon Musk and Grifters take your L.
When Nolan comes back from his supposed three-year break, Universal are going to write him a blank check the likes of which have never been written. bsky.app/profile/disc...
I’m all for going into movies with zero knowledge of the plot, but when I went to THE ODYSSEY, a couple was fully onboard… until the Cyclops scene & were so shocked by it, that they left. Like, “Wait, this is fantasy? Let’s bounce.” Again, it’s THE ODYSSEY. How are its fantastical elements a shock?
And I say that as someone who typically is not the world’s biggest fantasy fan, lol.
Wow. I will say that THE ODYSSEY has shown me that the average human (American?) seems completely ignorant of all classical texts. I knew they hadn’t read them — but I’m shocked by how they’ve failed to absorb even the most basic ideas that are basically cultural, creative canon.
