Christopher Nolan has conquered his previous titles with The Odyssey, as the recent Universal Pictures release is now the highest-grossing movie of the acclaimed filmmaker’s career.
The studio confirmed Sunday that the mythological epic has made $1.104 billion worldwide in its first month in theaters following its initial July 17 release. This surpasses 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, which earned $1.085 billion, and 2008’s The Dark Knight at $1.005 billion, as Warner Bros.’ two Batman films had previously held the top spots on the list of the director’s top global sums.
As of Sunday, The Odyssey has collected $461.1 million domestically. Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus on his arduous journey home after the Trojan War, the film also stars Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson, marking the highest-grossing movie globally for Damon, Hathaway and Pattinson’s careers. Nolan and Emma Thomas produce for Syncopy.
In addition to distributing The Odyssey, Universal was also behind Nolan’s 2023 release Oppenheimer, which counts as the filmmaker’s fourth-highest-grossing title globally with $975.8 million. That film won seven Oscars, including best director for Nolan and best picture.
