The Odyssey Box Office Day 1: Adds $51.3 Million as Domestic Total Hits $51.3 Million
Christopher Nolan's R-rated epic, starring Matt Damon, storms into theaters with a record-breaking opening weekend, setting a new high bar for the director and the genre this year.
The Epic Arrives on Screen
Matt Damon leads a star-studded cast in Christopher Nolan's sweeping adaptation of Homer's ancient poem, 'The Odyssey.' The film plunges audiences into a world of gods, monsters, and myth, reimagining one of literature's greatest adventures for the big screen.
'The Odyssey' is a 173-minute epic adventure, action, and fantasy film directed by Christopher Nolan. It follows Odysseus, the legendary King of Ithaca, on his long and perilous voyage home after the Trojan War. His journey is fraught with divine interference, terrifying mythological creatures, and trials that test his legendary cunning and his very humanity to its breaking point.
A Cast of Legends and Gods
Matt Damon stars as the cunning hero, Odysseus. He is joined by Tom Holland as his son, Telemachus, and Anne Hathaway as his faithful wife, Penelope. The supporting cast is a powerhouse ensemble: Robert Pattinson plays the suitor Antinous; Lupita Nyong'o portrays the dual roles of Helen and Clytemnestra; Charlize Theron is the nymph Calypso; Zendaya embodies the goddess Athena; and Benny Safdie takes on the role of the Greek king Agamemnon.
A Monumental Box Office Debut
The film launched in 3,919 theaters, immediately setting a commanding pace.
The Path to Profit
The opening weekend's performance suggests strong initial audience interest, which will be essential as the film navigates its lengthy runtime and R-rating in the competitive summer marketplace.
