The story so far

'The Odyssey' has become Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film ever, surpassing 'The Dark Knight Rises' with a global box office total of $1.1 billion. The film's success comes as a surprise, as Nolan's previous film 'Oppenheimer' did not reach this feat.

The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline attribute this to strong international reception and positive word-of-mouth. The reporting does not yet specify how 'The Odyssey' compares to other billion-dollar films of 2026.

IMDb and Yahoo.com note that 'The Odyssey' is the fifth billion-dollar film of the year, but do not specify the other films. Variety notes that the film's success is due to strong international reception, but does not specify which regions have contributed most to the film's success.
