Hmmmmmmmmmmm....
I noticed something that everybody seems to be failing to mention here.
If you look at Thursday night Previews for both Toy Story 5 and The Odyssey, they were basically neck-and-neck with Odyssey pulling in $100k more than Toy Story 5's $17.5 Million, marking it as the largest preview night so far in 2026 by a hair...
But did you look at Friday's numbers for both movies, which include that preview number?
The Odyssey: $51,280,000
Toy Story 5: $71,109,759
Wow. That's quite a difference. Nearly 20 Million.
Those are just numbers though. Anybody can see those and report on them without putting much thought into it.
But see... here's the thing nobody is talking about...
Toy Story 5 is a kid-friendly family movie. The Odyssey is an R-Rated flick.
But $71 Million worth of people decided to go out on Thursday and Friday night after work with their kids to see the movie they could have seen at any time all weekend, but only $51 Million worth of people went out to see a movie that kids aren't allowed to see in a theater without an adult.
I think this means something pretty bad for The Odyssey in the longer term after any built-in front-loading plays out here. Especially with a 3 hour runtime cutting into the number of likely repeat viewings.
If there was only going to be one day where The Odyssey beat Toy Story 5 on opening weekend, I would have certainly thought it to be Friday night, and yet it was a blowout the other way.
And I'm still not convinced that Toy Story 5 is a Billion dollar movie before it's out of theaters. It very well could stall out right around where Nolan's Oppenheimer did.
You need $625 Million to break even here.
You've got a 99% Critic rating and a 97% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an "A" Cinemascore.
The entire Legacy Media and all the gay lefty websites are blowing this movie 24/7.
You've got all the momentum.
Don't fuck it up.

Yeah. They've literally been given everything they ever wanted on a silver platter here.
Even in a Media culture that has seen a lot of the wokisms muted and the critics finally coming out and calling a shit Disney movie a shit Disney movie after pretending all the woke crap over the last 10 years was great, they somehow all came together on this one movie. Even actors that aren't in it are all in on it.
And the media is using "Nolan" as a cudgel.
And I don't think that's very wise.
If you haven't seen my prediction here before... and it's purely speculation at this point... I believe that Christopher Nolan already had his acceptance speech for Best Picture for this movie written out before he even got the film greenlit.
He got $250 Million handed over to him easily after Oppenheimer, and then he got Absurd with it.
"You want forced diversity in everything? I'm going to make the dumbest fucking movie ever made. My casting choices will be the worst and most blatant form of race swapping ever seen. And I'm so crazy, I'll even replace Brad Pitt with Ellen Page. The film will be disjointed and relatively boring while offering nothing new. I'll even base it off of some dumb white feminist's rewrite. The media will blow it 24/7/365 until Oscar night, where it will sweep the awards even though it ended up being a dud if not a complete flop at the box office.
And when I accept that Best Picture award for a failure of a purposefully bad movie using the rules put on all of us and taking them to the max, I'm going to give you all a speech that will make Ricky Gervais jealous he couldn't have given it himself."
Contrary to what I think most people would believe if this were to happen, he's going to be the most sought director out there. And I think he knows this.
And his backup plan all along could have been "Hey... Maybe the people are stupid and deserve this movie. If it makes money and I don't get to give that speech, I'm still rich and gainfully employed."
There's really no negatives on the ROI for this on his part.

I hope you enjoyed your extra $100k on preview night, because you got destroyed by Toy Story 5 on opening weekend.
Toy Story 5 (Weekend Total): $159,677,837
Friday: $71,109,759
Saturday: $47,755,375
Sunday: $40,812,703
The Odyssey (Weekend Total): $124,500,000
Friday: $51,100,000
Saturday: $41,660,000
Sunday: $31,740,000
Toy Story 5 grossed $312 Million worldwide on opening weekend vs. only $264 Million for The Odyssey
The Hype Machine is in full cope, but at the end of the day, this movie got spanked by the 4th direct sequel to a kids IP that came out before I was in High School.
One that likely will not be grossing over $1 Billion after just limping over $900 Million on its 5th weekend.
Toy Story 5's second and third weekend drops were 56% and 57%, respectively.
Let's see how far The Odyssey falls in weekend 2.

And at the end of the day when this grosses less than Oppenheimer by quite a bit, they're still going to fawn all over it.
But that's just stupid.
Oppenheimer was about a guy who 99% of the dummies who went to see it never even knew his name or who he was. And that probably only happened because some marketing genius came up with the word Barbieheimer.
I doubt there is a single person in 1st world countries who doesn't at least know some of the characters and mythology behind The Odyssey. And despite the Legacy Media circling the wagons and going all-in on this one, the numbers are NOT good despite whatever these shit rags have to say to the contrary.
In Nolan's hands, The Odyssey should have been a $1.5 Billion movie.

Google AI, citing JoBlo, Deadline and Euronews, says that the industry expects a 60% drop for weekend two, or around only $50 Million gross Domestically, after taking into account the frontloaded Nolan fans and presales.
That's seriously not good, people. The opening was not good. It may have come in higher than the industry was predicting in the week leading up to the release, even by quite a bit, but it's still not good.
I don't understand why the media decides to lie about things like this. There's already so much distrust in the media as it is, and whether The Odyssey reached Two Billion or didn't crack $100 Million is just so trivial and meaningless in the grand scheme of things. (* Truthfully, it's not meaningless at all on a grand scale when it comes to deciphering what the general mood of the people is, and it is why I was tracking it so relentlessly there for a few years before it told me what I wanted to know. But it's not worth wasting so much trust on for so long when there are always far more important things for them to lie to all of us about.)
Why does the media waste so much of their capital on covering for failures with the message in them?
And they do it so much less frequently in 2026 than they did in 2020, but for some reason they all decided to join back together in some horrific woke Voltron to defend this slop.
Is this the last stand?
Is this the hill that they all choose to die on?
On this, the 10th anniversary of the movie that really started it all...
Ghostbusters: Answer The Call.
*And by started it all, I don't mean the beginning of the relentless Liberal agenda programming in the media. I mean the first movie that the normie sheep who don't really pay attention to nothing started paying attention.
THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO GROSS $625 MILLION TO BREAK EVEN.
That's not the direction we're headed here, folks.
Why is everyone lying to me and telling me this movie is doing great?

https://www.primetimer.com/news/is-rotten-tomatoes-score-for-the-odyss

A user HACKED Rotten Tomatoes on the asmongold subreddit (parsed the json data) and found the REAL REVIEW SCORE for Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey and discovered that out of 886 active users only 498 rated it positivity leaving the true score around: 56.2%
A score of 97% is mathematically impossible (combined with faked ticket sales) and this is looking more and more like widespread FRAUD by the Hollywood Industry on a MASSIVE scale.
https://x.com/ObviousRises/status/2079357274263564399
Interestingly enough, 56.2% is not far off from the Metacritic data which has normal reviewers (non critics/bots) which rate the film at 51%.

I believe that the first part of my prediction is coming true as we speak and once we have the numbers for weekend 2 it should all but confirm that is the case.
I think everybody is sleeping on Nolan though. Everybody that isn't blowing and shilling for him right now, I mean.
And I don't mind if one of his "people" find this idea right here and they start writing that final Best Picture acceptance speech after the fact as long as he delivers it.

I heard somebody say that after Spider-Man comes out, there's not another money maker coming out until December.
If that's true, both of them should benefit from this fact.
But I'm thinking 3 weeks from now it's already not going to matter. If you haven't seen either The Odyssey or Spider-Man by mid-August and you just get a hankering to go to the theater to see a movie, which one do you think people are more likely going to choose?
I think unless Spider-Man is complete horseshit, that question doesn't even need to be asked.

I am now forced to do the responsible thing and fess up to where I messed up, because until the weekend numbers come in, I've got no idea what is going on anymore.
I was recently informed by a Thursday version of Google AI that Tuesday's version of Google AI is full of shit and was "hallucinating". It then went into pretty great detail about how it would have came to the erroneous conclusion that it was only expected by the industry to gross in the area of $50 Million on Weekend 2. Because I remembered which sources it was citing and let them know that information along with telling it that it told me only $50 Million a few days ago, it was able to give me a perfectly reasonable explanation of how it would have drawn that incorrect conclusion.
These details are boring and I won't bother putting them here
I'm just disappointed in the experience and getting quite annoyed at how frequently it seems that this AI is just plain fucking wrong so often that it makes you question if anything it's ever said to you or that it will say to you in the future is correct...
Could be. Flip a coin. I don't fuckin' know.
Suffice it to say, the industry does, and at least since Tuesday has expected that The Odyssey will gross between $61 and $84 Million on Weekend two.
$61 Million alone isn't going to change much of what I've said already. We would have to see what's happening by the 3rd weekend to get a much clearer picture.
$84 Million is a different story.
I think with $84 Million, $625 Million is more than likely.
Some are saying this movie needs $700 Million actually to break even, but I have not yet seen anything in the winds that makes me raise the RoT multiplier beyond 2.5x. I'm not actively searching for things like this, mind, but I have no doubt if they are out there they would be unearthed for this movie eventually without me having to bother.
Until somebody convinces me otherwise, this movie only needs $625 Million to break even. It does me no good to myself or anybody else to just go with the higher number I heard because I like that number. That's what Democrat voters do to make themselves feel better about themselves all the time. My temporary dopamine high from yelling "Take that! Now you need to make $700 Million!" is meaningless.
The people who had dogs in the race know exactly what they needed on return for them to consider this a win. And they will take that knowledge they learned here and apply that the next time a Producer comes around and they may not be so free to part with their alms. And I would bet that number varies Greatly from person to person and entity from entity. Make fun of "Producer Credits" given as gifts to prima dona actors all you want, but a real Producer is a God among men. They're the ones who go around and get everyone to cough up the dough.
And I think for a very long time, they might not really have been needed. What, with all that free Venture Capital that was floating around everywhere after Obama put us on virtually 0% interest and then we just didn't fucking raise it back up for forever...
Think of all of the crap and fucking trash that has been made in the last 10 years. Does anybody believe for a minute that half of that shit would have been made if people had to call up friends and call in all their favors to get a movie or a TV show the funding it needed to even get a chance at the starting line?
Honestly... I think that's why Harvey Weinstein really went down. Because Obama dropped the interest to 0% and we just had no interest in bringing it back up from there. Nobody needed that fat, ugly sack of shit who was always fornicating with the world's most beautiful and highly paid prostitutes the world has ever known anymore.
What Ted Bundy Clone doesn't understand, as he comes in here and dive bombs a dumb ass click bait video by three retarded white guys for a sweet shot of cheap dopamine, is that

That's essentially what they have been for 10 years with Obama's 0% interest rate hanging on forever and everyone greenlighting everything put on their desks written by a vagina or anyone as dark as Mariah Carey or darker.
Above that, Netflix was hemorrhaging money and never saw a single quarter profit until 2023. Disney + doesn't know what profit is since it's never seen any.
Poor Ibram X. Kendi.
He was just about to get his "children's book" for white liberal parents who hate their kids My Anti-Racist Baby turned into a cartoon.
Then the rug was pulled and he and about 200 other minorities and/or women who had projects in development for Netflix all lost the entire thing. None of the shit was made anymore.
Why do you think that is?
Why do you think that in 2023 Netflix finally posted it's first quarterly profit and has managed to be profitable every quarter since?

Did you see anything saying specifically that it's not doing well overseas?
Otherwise, I don't think it's lagging with that $164 Million.
Sometimes on big movies like this they show some of the updates through the week, but not all of them.
Opening weekend internationally was $139.6 million.
So it did get a $24 Million addition somewhere. That could be up to date as of Thursday, but I think it seems pretty unlikely. Maybe it was the IMAX money they earned through Thursday, or everything but the IMAX money? I don't know when it was added or where it came from.
If a big movie is doing healthy overseas, it will gross roughly the same amount it made 1st weekend by the end of the 2nd weekend, so if it's not hurting overseas we'll have about another $140 Million international by Monday morning, or around $280 Million in total.

Moana could be artificially high in NZ I'm not sure but culturally they are almost a very similar same-ish Native Americas Samoan Hawaii people. A unique mix in NZ, a mix of WASP and Scottish with these Kiwi Maori Pacific island people. Even if the cartoom animation movie features a fictional Polynesian language I think New Zealand would appreciate that cultural diversity reflecting heritage of the Pacific Islands.
European cinema I believe was on a downward trend in general, it falls with recessions, Merkel distrubs Europe economically opening the door to muzzie invaders, I believe in general European cinema ticket seats are down 5-10% but maybe there is some 'balance' as prices have increased...I think there is a general feeling of public uncertainty with sanctions and actual war
Germany, the British, French markets used to be big guys but not anymore
European markets are showing slow growth or overall decline, it was going down in 2015 maybe 2016 but especially down after Covid. Hollywood and the US market in general is down from the peak years.
The Japan market is a strange one, they tend to be slow to translate pictures or slow to have movies exported to their cinemas. The Japanese, for their population size in cinema seats they dont seem to sell that big, maybe they are over worked, maybe they go to karaoke bars or watch cartoons or play too many video games at home
The Japanese demographic is also rapidly aging with people having fewer kids.
Italy, Spain and Poland have grown, there is a rise in other markets China, Brazil, India, Vietnam etc
Australia and New Zealand are smaller markets
Production costs?
if budgets were kept low, Hollywood would not need to depend so much on overseas earnings

Well is $700 Million and eeking out a profit. If something changes and that's all it makes, don't bet on anything else like it for a very long time.
They're out there celebrating this thing after a string of about 40 losses in a row, so if it's just going to be gambling going forward, they're going to start making safer bets now that the Venture Capital all dried up and they actually have to hunt down people and ask them to invest the money again.
If it makes what Oppenheimer did, that's going to suck because we probably will see more of this slop shit. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hollywood always tends to take all the wrong lessons and throw away the ones it should be learning, and they'll fuck it up.
What's next? The Iliad? Maybe some Muslim mysticism? Or Jewish, perhaps? We can finally learn about how Shit Golems are created.
How do you suppose that the Polly Pocket movie starring Phil Collins' daughter is going to do after they decided that would be the next big thing after Barbie did what Barbie did?
If she comes out and says stupid shit like these idiots do, it's going to make less than Supergirl did. She's a little older though. Probably a little wiser too. And her old man is a low-key badass.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023) is a historical financial anomaly where an R-rated, three-hour biopic acted as a massive theatrical engine, shifting the revenue balance significantly back toward ticket sales. While Tenet had to rely on home ecosystems for survival, Oppenheimer capitalized on a staggering $972.2 million global box Office run.
According to financial accounting breakdowns published by Deadline, the total revenue returned to Universal Pictures stood at $721.9 million.
Total Revenue Breakdown
Non-ticket sources brought in a combined $300 million, meaning exactly 41.6% of the movie’s total studio revenue came from sources other than ticket sales.
• Theatrical Ticket Revenue (Studio Share): $421.9 million (58.4% of total)
o Note: This is the portion of the $972.2M box office cash returned to Universal after theaters took their cut.
• Television & Streaming Licensing: $170.0 million (23.5% of total)
o This includes international broadcast, pay-cable syndication, secondary digital windows, and the internal fee Universal paid itself to stream the film exclusively on Peacock.
• Home Entertainment (VOD & Physical Sales): $130.0 million (18.1% of total)
o Driven by a prolonged four-month window before digital release and massive demand for premium 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.
Key Financial Insights
• The Power of the Window: Christopher Nolan contractually mandated a strict seven-month theatrical window before Oppenheimer could stream on Peacock. This intentionally protected the high-margin theatrical and home entertainment purchase windows, extracting maximum value from consumers before making it "free" on a subscription service.
• Profit vs. Expenses: Against the $721.9 million in total revenue. Universal incurred $520 million in total expenses—including a modest $100 million production budget, $170 million in marketing, and a massive $175 million in backend "participation" payouts to Nolan, the producers, and the star-studded cast. https://deadline.com/2024/05/oppenheimer-movie-profits-1235900658/
• Studio Net Profit: Ultimately, the film generated a massive $201.9 million in pure net profit for Universal Pictures.

‘The Odyssey’ Gives Us the Hero We Deserve
By B.D. McClay | July 26, 2026
Some people are going to tell you that the problem with Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is that it’s about modern people, not ancient people. Not me. It is about modern people, but so is everything else made by modern people. If you want to encounter the ancient world, you have to open a book. (Homer is available in several translations; I like Richmond Lattimore’s.)
Other people are going to tell you that the problem with Mr. Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is that he’s using an ancient text to revisit his own preoccupations: heroism, guilt, memory and the nature of time. Not me. I like an artist who’s not afraid to keep gnawing at the same bone.
No, for me the problem with Mr. Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is something else. It’s Odysseus.
One thing that may strike contemporary readers of Homer is that Odysseus is one of a handful of epic heroes whose motivations actually make sense to us. He doesn’t want to be in Troy; he wants to be home. He is devious and clever without being an out-and-out scoundrel, and he’s generally motivated by curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
In Mr. Nolan’s hands, however, wily Odysseus becomes a different, if still recognizable, type: the halfway hero. He’s a man who in some way fails to be a father, a man who dirties himself in the name of a higher cause but then discovers that the cause wasn’t worth it, a man with the power to change the world but who, in the end, either fails to do so or makes the world worse.

Odysseus’s Confession | Christopher Nolan’s God-Haunted ‘Odyssey’
Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster seems at times more biblical than Homeric.
By Luis Parrales | July 26, 2026, 8 AM ET
https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026/07/christopher-nolan-odyssey-
bible-god/688059/
Toward the end of Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus and Penelope finally see each other after 20 years apart. Odysseus, disguised as “an ancient old man” by the goddess Athena, tells Penelope that her husband will return to kill the suitors who have tormented her. “Not one will avoid his death and destruction,” he says. This is Homer’s protagonist: wily, aided by a god, and eager for revenge—reflective of a culture that prized honor, strength, and fealty to a set of interventionist deities.
This is not, however, Christopher Nolan’s protagonist. At key moments in the recent blockbuster adaptation of the ancient-Greek poem, Odysseus’s story seems more biblical than Homeric.
In the film, when Odysseus reunites with Penelope, he hasn’t been turned into an old man. Nolan keeps his identity secret through more naturalistic means: a dimly lit room, a cloak over his body, and latticed sliding doors that separate the two characters. The doors, which are not found in Homer’s poem, are evocative of the screen between priest and penitent in Catholic confession—a setting that Nolan, who was raised Catholic, would be familiar with. And although in Homer’s poem, Odysseus is thirsty for retribution, Nolan emphasizes a different emotion in this scene, one that is integral to the confessional and to Christian life as a whole: contrition.
Odysseus describes deep guilt over his central role in a famous episode of the Trojan War: when Greek soldiers hid inside a wooden horse to trick the people of Troy into letting them into their city. “We left them a gift,” he tells his wife, “an offering of peace, that they took into their home.” In sacking Troy, Odysseus says, he and his fellow soldiers “violated all that’s ever sacred between people”—he recognizes a link between mistreating humanity and disrespecting divinity. He confesses that he “lost his way,” not just temporally or physically but in his soul.
Other aspects of Nolan’s adaptation feel biblical, even Christian, rather than Homeric—a quasi-baptism scene at sea, for example, and the conspicuous absence of the references to sex that populate the poem. The core principle of the film’s moral universe seems to echo the Bible. “Treat others as you would be treated,” Penelope declares early in the film, expressing an ethic that various characters refer to as “Zeus’s law.” Many versions of the idea exist, in secular and religious forms. But in the film, Penelope’s words sound more like Jesus’s Golden Rule than anything in Homer, where the heroes—though bound to host strangers as if they might be gods in disguise—seek to achieve glory more than convey empathy.
The film’s treatment of Odysseus’s lies, too, seems consonant with the Ten Commandments instead of Homer’s moral worldview. In the poem, Odysseus’s lies are often portrayed positively, as evidence of his intelligence and resourcefulness—when he tricks the Cyclops, for example. In the film, however, Odysseus’s falsehoods have dire consequences, an apparent reflection of the biblical assertion that false witness is a sin. Odysseus tasks a young soldier named Sinon—a character who does not appear in the poem—with offering the horse to the Trojans. But he doesn’t tell Sinon that its purpose is to attack the city. Sinon dies as a result of Odysseus’s deception. Later, in Hades, he admonishes his commander: “Did you have to lie to me?”
So did Christopher Nolan make a Christian film, which the Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro and others have suggested since the movie’s release? Not quite. As my colleague Gal Beckerman wrote, Nolan diminishes the role of the gods, treating them as socially useful but not necessarily real. It’s hard to call definitively “Christian” a movie that regards the divine as a possible fantasy. The film is God-haunted, though. Homer may

Go ahead and learn the wrong lessons.
Yes. Yes. We all want more woke bullshit. This is proof.
Now give Nia DeCosta $250 Million to remake something similar with an equally ridiculous cast and see what happens.

Why isn't anyone listening to me about 'The Odyssey'? | Opinion
Despite all my productive and intellectual online shouting, the movie has made $652 million worldwide since its July 17 release. And even more frustratingly, I'm still single.
By Rex Huppke

Like most normal, well-adjusted men, I have spent every waking moment since Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” opened in theaters feeling apoplectically angry about Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.”
I have rage-posted online, noting that by casting people who are different than me, the director ruined a beloved epic poem I never actually read. I have blamed wokeness for creating a world in which an ancient work of absolute fiction can be sullied by what I, making perfect sense, angrily claim to be historical inaccuracies.
Yet despite all my productive and intellectual online shouting, the movie has made $652 million worldwide since its July 17 release. And even more frustratingly, I’m still single.
I struggle to understand these developments. Are people not hearing my well-thought-out protestations that the boats we see in the movie look like Viking ships and not the penteconters used by ancient Greeks? Have I not been agreeing loudly enough with right-wing intellectuals like Elon Musk, who back in May responded “True” to an X post that read: “The destruction of the Odyssey by Nolan and the Left isn’t just about a movie. It’s about Western Civilization. The Greeks were its foundation. From Democracy to Art to Philosophy to Culture. The Left wants to destroy Western Civilization and everything that helped create it.”
Why are people shelling out millions of dollars to see a film that so obviously presents a clear-and-present danger to everything men on the internet have told me I must hold dear? Has Big Hollyweird shadow-banned my social media accounts? Did I forget to turn on the microphone before yelling into it on recent episodes of my podcast “Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Is a Threat to Masculinity, Please Date Me”?
Why are people not listening to my sensible anti-The-Odyssey rage?
You can’t tell me rugged online men, sweatily exasperated that Nolan portrayed the Greek king Agamemnon wearing a black helmet that looked like it came off a Batman movie set, are somehow a minority voice in America.
You can’t suggest that White, cisgender guys whose views on masculinity were adopted from wealthy, bigoted men who yell about things on the internet are overreacting to a fictional story involving a Cyclops and mythical sirens by demanding historical accuracy.
How dare moviegoers not listen to me! Don’t they know there’s a male loneliness epidemic going on and nobody can figure out why it’s happening?

pre-ticket sales for Spider-Man in China might be insane, it could be targeting $250 million...these are insane numbers, so I guess all that China tiktok spyphone mobile cell phone app data is good for something
Nolan's Odyssey so far has made ZERO bucks in China, SKorea, Japan

They've run out of American-hating liberals to go see it.
Everybody knows this is a shit movie, and anyone who paid to see it got what they deserved. They pissed away money and got themselves a good 4 hour nap in the air conditioned theater.
This movie ain't shit.
Spider-Man had to come back to prove that by absolutely destroying it.
Like I said over a month ago... Anybody who hasn't seen Spider-Man on opening weekend or The Odyssey is going to be left with that choice going forward.
Which one do you think people are going to pick?

Just FYI, Jaynez's $168 Million vs $14.5 Million figures were the box office yesterday. But I need to point that out because it's pretty accidentally disingenuous to frame that comparison and doesn't paint the actual picture, which is already the destruction of The Odyssey and doesn't need to have inflated numbers to make the point.
The $14.5 Million The Odyssey made last night is the legit Friday domestic numbers for its 3rd Friday in the theaters.
The $168 Million that Spider-Man made "last night" also includes preview Thursday, which was a mind-boggling $72 Million that also happens to be more than Avengers: End Game got.
You can compare Spider-Man's $72 Million preview to The Odyssey's $17.6 Million.
Or you can compare Spider-Man's $168 Million Friday number with The Odyssey's first Friday number of $51 Million. (since both of these include Thursday previews).
Or you can compare each real opening Friday number with Spider-Man's $96 Million to The Odyssey's $34.4 Million.
Though I do not believe that Spider-Man will make anywhere near 3 Billion worldwide, the average of those 3 numbers is well over 3 times what the Odyssey did.

The message behind Christopher Nolan’s most important change to “The Odyssey”
Are we the Sea Peoples?
Matthew Yglesias | Aug 06, 2026
https://www.slowboring.com/p/the-message-behind-christopher-nolans
When I finally went to see Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” (it’s harder to get to the movies in rural Maine), I was surprised that relatively little of the gargantuan discourse around the film focused on what I thought was the largest departure from Homer’s text: Nolan inserts multiple references to a historical phenomenon known as the Sea Peoples and a historical episode known as the Bronze Age Collapse.
Some of this falls under the general heading of historical inaccuracy — a person living in the Bronze Age would not refer to himself as living in the Bronze Age, because the idea of a Bronze Age is a modern characterization of the past. It’s based on knowledge that in the future, people would learn how to work with iron on a large scale and bronze weapons would become obsolete. The Sea Peoples, similarly, is a phrase coined in the 19th century by a French Egyptologist putting forward a hypothesis about something he thought happened in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean. It’s not a phrase that we have any evidence was in use at the time.
But anachronisms aside, these references are a bold adaptive choice by Nolan.
We know that the Mycenaean Greek civilization depicted in Homer’s epic would eventually collapse, that there would be a Greek Dark Age with no written material, and that later the rise of Classical Greek civilization would bring about a return to writing with a new script. One strain of thought holds that this collapse was linked to the near-simultaneous collapse of several other civilizations in the region and that this may have had something to do with the Sea Peoples.
But none of this is in the text of “The Odyssey.”
This is all information that I (and many others) learned about from Eric Cline’s well-regarded 2014 book “1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed.” And Cline himself wrote a 2013 book on the Trojan War as part of the Oxford University Press Very Short Introductions series that suggests some of the linkages Nolan makes in the movie.
Nolan is incorporating it to reinterpret, recontextualize, and to a substantial extent subvert the source text, suggesting that the Greek attack on Troy sowed the seeds of Mycenaean Greece’s downfall.
Given the incredible commercial success of the film, you clearly can enjoy it without knowing much about these historical debates. I think the point Nolan is trying to make about the present is clear enough: The contemporary West risks collapse not because of external adversaries but because we are abandoning our own values.
But I enjoy a good ancient history debate, so let’s get into it anyway.

One Surprising Thing About The Odyssey—Its Rating
The U.S. is a relative outlier in keeping Christopher Nolan’s movie away from younger audiences.
By Sophia Nguyen | August 6, 2026, 11:52 AM ET
https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026/08/why-is-the-odyssey-rated-r
/688204/
Christopher Nolan has directed two movies in which a soldier washes up on a foreign shore and, battle-weary and sodden, fights to return home. The first, 2017’s Dunkirk, dramatized the World War II evacuation in which thousands of Allied soldiers were killed. It received a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for “intense war experience and some language.” The other, this summer’s The Odyssey, is a seafaring adventure that laments the atrocities of the Trojan War—and is rated R for “violence and some language.”
That R is surprising. As the translator Emily Wilson wrote in her site-crashing review for the London Review of Books, Nolan’s film is “a family-friendly audiovisual spectacle.” She meant it pejoratively. But that quality is what has prompted beleaguered English teachers across the nation to receive the film as almost a personal gift. The Odyssey is decidedly chaste, and even stars Zendaya; what better way to get students to engage with an ancient Greek text? And yet, at least while The Odyssey remains in theaters, the R restriction—which means anyone younger than 17 isn’t allowed to attend unless accompanied by an adult—cuts off the audience members who might particularly benefit from being exposed to Homer’s epic.
The United States is a relative outlier in keeping The Odyssey away from younger audiences. Among its Anglophone peers, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Ireland deemed the movie suitable for anyone older than 15; Canada gave it a PG. Much of Latin America rated it equivalent to PG-13, as did Spain, Portugal, and France. Denmark approved the film for ages 11 and up.
So what happened here? As a rule, the MPA never discusses specific titles in public. Ratings are voted on by a board composed of parents from outside the film industry, who have children from the ages of 5 to 15; they must leave the board after a term maximum of seven years, or when all of their children reach legal drinking age. “One of the huge problems with the rating system is that there’s no transparency,” Kirby Dick, a filmmaker, told me. For his 2006 documentary, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Dick hired private detectives to suss out who sat on the board at the time. “We don’t know what their backgrounds are, what the diversity is,” said Dick. “They’re making judgments for all of the country, the entire public, and we have no idea who these people are.”
The identities of today’s raters remain secret, as do their deliberations. Their reasoning is so mysterious that, in 2018, the MPA made headlines just by posting a 46-page document outlining the basics of its history and process. Nearly a century ago, Hollywood operated under the Motion Picture Production Code, a series of self-imposed guidelines that were enforced by “a very stern and efficient Irish Catholic named Joseph I. Breen,” Thomas Doherty, a professor of American studies at Brandeis University, told me. Anyone could read its rules: “It kind of operated like case law.” The code grew defunct in the post–World War II era; in 1968, it was replaced by the film-ratings system. Today’s arrangement, styled as a consumer guide that helps families make informed choices, is more permissive than the code, but also more opaque—and more subjective.
A spokesperson for the MPA declined to make the chair of its ratings branch available for an interview, citing scheduling issues. Instead, I called up Ethan Noble, a former Miramax Films executive, and Scott Young, a former MPA senior rater, who, via their firm Motion Pictures Consulting, guide filmmakers through the ratings process. Their job is to anticipate the ratings board’s reaction to matters such as language and content. By my count, The Odyssey featured three uses of the word fuck and its variants, one of which was used to d

Artful Weaving
The most authentic thing about Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is its densely braided narrative, but its tormented hero sounds like the heroes of Christopher Nolan movies.
Daniel Mendelsohn | August 20, 2026 issue
https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2026/08/20/artful-weaving-odyssey-chr
istopher-nolan/
Aristotle, for one, wasn’t all that impressed by Odysseus’s adventures. In the seventeenth chapter of his Poetics he observes, apropos of the relationship of a story’s “essential” meaning to its constituent episodes, that
the storyline of the Odyssey is not long. A man has been away from his homeland for many years, and Poseidon is always on the watch for him, and he is all alone. Meanwhile, the situation at home is such that his wealth is being consumed by the Suitors, who are plotting against his son. But after a storm-tossed journey he returns, and after revealing himself and attacking them is saved and destroys his enemies. That is the essential; everything else is episodes.
This summary will strike many as odd. Where, you wonder, are the famous adventures that most people think of as the meat of the great epic—the numerous escapades that showcase the ingenuity, wiliness, and derring-do of Homer’s hero during his decade-long return from the Trojan War? The Lotos-Eaters, who eat of a flower that erases memory? The seductive nymph Calypso, who holds him prisoner for seven years, offering to make him immortal if only he would stay with her—an offer he movingly refuses in favor of returning to his aging, mortal wife? His yearlong dalliance with the witchy Circe, who turns his men into swine? Or his lengthy sojourn among the effete Phaeacians, with their opulent wealth and glittering palaces, their taste for dancing and music—one of the many cultures that the epic presents as a tempting alternative to Ithaca—whose royal family the hero, deploying his famed rhetorical skills, wheedles into bringing him home?
Nor is there any mention here of the voyage to the Underworld, where, in one of the epic’s most moving moments, Odysseus attempts—and fails—to embrace the wispy ghost of his mother, of whose death, during his long absence, he had been unaware. And no mention either of the lengthiest of the adventures, the encounter with the one-eyed giant Cyclops, whom clever Odysseus—repeatedly celebrated by Homer as polymêtis (“greatly cunning”), polyphrôn (“having many kinds of intelligence”), polymêkhanos (“able to contrive many solutions”), and poikilomêtis (“of multifaceted wiles”)—vanquishes by means of an artful pun on the word “nobody,” the false name he gives the Cyclops when they first meet.
All this, in Aristotle’s summary, is reduced to “a storm-tossed journey.”
In part this is because he rightly emphasizes the importance of that other, far vaster part of the Odyssey, what he calls “the situation at home”—the crisis that the hero’s long absence has created for his city, whose political institutions are collapsing; for his wife, Penelope, who is besieged by the Suitors; and for his young son, Telemachus, who strives to live up to the grand reputation of the father he never knew. These constitute what screenwriting courses refer to as the “stakes”—the crisis that must be resolved by the hero’s eventual return; otherwise the homecoming has no point. Only four of the epic’s twenty-four books are devoted to the adventures, which are narrated by the notoriously smooth-talking hero himself before the mesmerized Phaeacian court: his greatest feat of verbal artistry.
But the main reason Aristotle gives short shrift to the adv

6ixStringJoker demonstrated what a superiority complex looks like by writing a few hundred words about his superiority.
Why did men join the Nazi Party? Hitler made them feel strong. Trump stirs the same feeling in his Trumptards. 6ixStringJoker, for one example. Men joined the Nazi Party because Adolf Hitler and the party gave them a sense of pride, power, and hope during a time of deep economic and social crisis in Germany. Men joined the Republican Party because Donald Trump and the party gave them a sense of pride, power, and hope during a time of deep economic and social crisis for angry poor white trash Americans.

The Odyssey Is Now Christopher Nolan’s Biggest Box Office Hit

It’s also the most successful IMAX release ever, pushing Avatar down to #2 with its $289 million haul.
That’s impressive, but The Odyssey isn’t done yet. It’s still raking in the money after four weekends in theaters, and the movie hasn’t even opened in China yet.

‘The Odyssey’ reminds us of the nightmare we are leaving for American children
The Founders created Congress to write the laws, but ordinary citizens fail to hold it accountable
By John C. Adams / Fox News
Published August 15, 2026
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/odyssey-reminds-us-nightmare-leaving-a
merican-children
In Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," the most uncomfortable scenes aren't the cyclops or the shipwreck. They're the ones set at home.
Dozens of men have moved into Odysseus' palace on Ithaca. They slaughter his herds. They drain his wine. They lounge in his hall demanding his wife choose one of them, and every day they consume a little more of an estate none of them will ever own.
Telemachus watches it happen. He is a boy. He has no standing, no army and no idea when — or whether — his father is coming back.
That is not a Bronze Age problem.
We will soon be over $40 trillion in national debt. I have spent my career as a mergers-and-acquisitions banker valuing what things are truly worth, and I can tell you what that number is: It is a claim on people who cannot yet vote — taxation without representation.
I became a grandfather last year. When I watch my grandson playing, there is one question that never once crosses my mind — how could I steal from him? I don't know a single person who thinks that way. And yet, collectively, year after year, our politicians buy votes with money belonging to people who haven't been born.
That is the hall on Ithaca. The suitors were not monsters. They were ordinary men, following ordinary incentives in a house where nobody could stop them.
Socrates proposed that "lovers of wisdom" should make decisions for society. Two and a half millennia later, how are we doing? He would say we never understood his "ship of state." The skill that gets a person elected is not the skill required to govern, and we keep being surprised by this.
Cut the time frame by 90%, to 1776. The Founders were so wary of faction they warned us about it in the founding documents themselves. They made Congress Article I — not merely one branch among three, but the body meant to write the laws. They would be stunned at how much of that work now happens in the other two branches, and how comfortable Congress has become with the arrangement.
Cut 90% again, to 2001. Those Americans had just watched a Democratic president and a Republican Congress run a budget surplus while expanding trade. Tell them we would arrive here, in just two and a half decades — $40 trillion in debt, in the middle of a global trade war — and they would simply not believe you. [ The U.S. national debt was $5.7 trillion in January 2001. But then Bush started two wars and cut taxes for the wealthy while also cutting funding for the IRS, which has the job of policing tax cheating. Trump repeated those exact errors, too. https://www.jec.senate.gov/archive/Documents/Reports/debtandtaxes2006.
pdf ]
Three data points, each a tenth of the distance of the last, and the trend does not improve.
How did we get here? At bottom: incentives.
People respond to them, and our system gives citizens almost none to really understand the issues because understanding does not translate into any real say. We hand our authority to a proxy selected largely on partisan sound bites, then root for our political team the way we root for a ball club.
The Founders were so wary of faction they warned us about it in the founding documents themselves. They made Congress Article I — not merely one branch among three, but the body meant to write the laws.
Wealth and civic health are twin engines. The nations with the strongest safety nets don't have them because their politicians are nicer; they have them because their economies are richer and their systems reward productivity over plunder. If we align citizen incentives with actual legislative understanding, capitalism and democracy can do what they do best: make the poor ever richer.

Current tracking now puts its final tally somewhere between $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion.
The Universal Pictures collaboration is Nolan's first non-Batman film to reach $1 billion, although 2023's Oppenheimer came very close with $975 million.

The Odyssey Box Office Beats Spider-Man: Brand New Day For The First Weekend Ever
The Odyssey has accomplished a long-time quest to defeat Spider-Man.
By Brennan Klein

Per Deadline, as of Sunday morning, The Odyssey is projected to end its eighth weekend in theaters with a 3-day total of $45.96 million worldwide. This sees it earning more than Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($44.1 million) on the global chart for the first weekend since the Marvel movie debuted.
This comes mere days after the first time that 2026's The Odyssey usurped Spider-Man on the daily domestic chart. On Wednesday, September 2, and Thursday, September 3, Odyssey was No. 1 over Spider-Man at No. 2.
