The Odysseys Creates History With IMAX Record
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has become a historic box-office phenomenon, grossing approximately $1.685 billion worldwide. The film has earned $601.2 million in North America and $1.083 billion internationally, making it Universal Pictures’ highest grossing movie ever and the 12th highest grossing film worldwide.
Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, The Odyssey opened globally with $263.8 million, Nolan’s biggest debut. Its current haul places it ahead of The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08B), The Dark Knight ($1.01B) and Oppenheimer ($975.8M), making it Nolan’s biggest career grosser.
The Odyssey has also rewritten IMAX records, becoming the format’s highest-grossing release with more than $485 million worldwide. IMAX says the film generated nearly 5.8% of the summer’s global box office across its network, while its entirely IMAX 70mm presentation became a major attraction for audiences.
Based on current worldwide rankings, The Odyssey stands at No. 12 among the highest grossing films ever and is the third biggest non.franchise movie of all time. Its unprecedented theatrical run has transformed Homer’s ancient epic into one of 2026’s biggest cinematic events.
