‘The Odyssey’ Becomes Universal’s Highest-Grossing Film of All Time

  • On Saturday, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey became Universal Pictures' highest-grossing film ever, reaching a global cume of $1.684 billion and surpassing 2015's Jurassic World.
  • Produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas via Syncopy, the film helped Universal become the first studio to cross $4 billion at the global box office this year; NBCUniversal Entertainment chairman Donna Langley secured Nolan for the project in 2021.
  • Records broken include the highest-grossing R-rated title of all time, the biggest earner ever for IMAX, and the third-highest-grossing non-franchise movie ever.
  • Domestic earnings reached $601.2 million, with an international tally of $1.083 billion; the film reclaimed the top box office position in its eighth weekend, dropping only 9% domestically.
  • NBCUniversal Entertainment chairman Donna Langley called the film "a generational event that galvanizes moviegoing itself," as Universal leads all major studios with 26% of box office market share.
