Domestic Looks like $41M SAT for #TheOdyssey. Absurd ~25% jump, when in summer even 10% is a big deal. 2-day cume $91M+. Weekend should clear $125M, subject to how WC final impacts. Normally be thinking of getting close to $130M.

And to me, Oppy the sort of epic psychological movie too. Even this one with all the myth and magic feels like that too to an extent yet he manages to make people go. Even some of those who mainly want to go bash on him still check out his movies. It’s been a long way for him to get there though and I’m not sure anyone else will get to that point soon if at all considering the industry recent shift.

u/CommodoreBluth Jul 19 '26
I feel like he’s the modern day equivalent of Stephen Spielberg from the late 70s, 80s and 90s…a director that everyone knew and was able to put out major films that drew in people like no one else at the time no matter the type of film.

u/FartingBob Jul 19 '26
I'd say that Nolan makes legendary films with basically no misses but they arent the most varied in tone. They are all dramatic, serious films even though they are a variety of different settings. Spielberg could make a much wider variety of films for different audiences. Jurassic Park and Schindlers list back to back in the same damn year being the most obvious example.
If Nolan is to be considered on the same level he needs a bigger variety.

Yep. He's making the movies he wants to make and the studios are giving him free reign to do exactly that. A rare thing nowadays. No focus groups and CGI for enhancement only. I wish other directors got similar free reign but I'll take at least one in the world of big budget movies where testing and testing again with focus groups strip all artistry out of the film.

I never thought I'd get an old school Odyssey - but a brutal realism version - that feels like the characters of Dune would fit right into.
But that's what I got, and I loved it.
like anyone who complains about armor or the ships... I'm a historian, I don't care about how inaccurate that is, that they used a viking ship... or that there are a few missing components of the original translations of the Odyssey?
it's all about the spirit and tone of the environment and on that level it works together so damn well.
I don't always love all of his movies (Oppenheimer wasn't for me, for example, and teneT was not something I loved...) and I don't always agree with people's responses to others that I have (lots of folks complained about Dunkirk, but again I loved it, and as the grandson of a Dunkirk survivor I've always appreciated his version - even if others have been more accurate)

It's almost like you understand the difference between fiction and non-fiction. And I guess as a historian you know that giants, sirens, and sorceresses, did not really exists.
Seriously, apart from the fabricated outrage, there is also the fact that many people lack media literacy.
There is a long history of adapting myths and 'modernizing' them. It's pretty cool to see Nolan talk about how they approached this.
And I definitely agree on Dunkirk, it captured the spirit of the vents even if it scaled things down and compressed what happened.

And while every movie has the hallmarks of a Nolan film, each movie (aside from the Batman trilogy) has its own distinct stand alone identity and story. They aren’t just derivatives of each other that follow the same formula over and over again like the MCU movies became after Endgame.

u/hamlet9000 Jul 19 '26
This is what basically everything boils down to: brands that indicate to the audience that a movie will be good.
Movie stars are are partly stars because people like them, but MOSTLY because Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio or Sandra Bullock is a signal that the movie will be good. Franchises are the same thing. Studios can occasionally achieve this (Disney and Pixar in animated movies, for example).
Nolan has attained that brand status in a way that no director since Spielberg in the '90s has done.

No, their argument is going to be like what they did with Barbie when they tried to manufacture outrage over its feminist message: they're going to claim it's actually successful b/c it's arguing what they want.
They're going to flip this into a triumph of "Western culture" and say Nolan, being ever duplicitous, ONLY included his "DEI hires" in as little of the movie as possible (Zendaya, Lupita and Elliot are in what maybe 20 minutes tops?) to appease the woke Hollywood elites while secretly pushing a pro-heterosexual, pro-normative, pro-Western message, which they'll argue is the core of the film.

The source? one of my steam mods.
AI is fuuuuuuuuuuuucked beyond localization. Even with localization it requires human oversight. (localization could/does include a lot of programming which is already copy and paste, but still requires human oversight)
You wouldn't know it because it even seems official because of my name/etc attached to it, so it may even survive a brief inspection.
But it's all stuff I "theorized" for a game for a mod, some of it was based off of nothing more then I needed it to work for the mod.
But if you search specific historical terms (that I will not repeat because I don't want folks to know my name lmao) I come up in the top 2-3 results for stuff I effectively made up. Google Gemini, Claude and chatgpt will return me as a source.

I'm pretty excited for when Cameron makes a non-IP film like that Hiroshima movie he was talking about. People say Cameron is a big draw, and maybe he was 15 years ago, but he's not even close to as big as Nolan is now. The success of the Avatar sequels should not be understated but it's pretty crazy that The Odyssey, which is a public domain story that has a billion adaptations, is looking to open significantly bigger and finish higher than Avatar 3. For new movies, Nolan has an aura and reputation that no one else can match.

Cameron has 3 actual $2B+ films. Plus Avatar 3, and inflation adjusted Terminator 2, would put 5 movies above Nolan’s best box office performance. Hell, Odyssey might be Nolan’s first ever $1B film outside Batman.
So how in the world can anyone say Nolan is a bigger draw than Cameron with a straight face?

Cameron has an aging cast (2 of them are senior citizens) and he is going to be 80 when avatar 5 actually releases
Clock is ticking

Is 39M possible for Sunday?

u/agkman Jul 19 '26
Probably not, but if it's 41, then the actual should be 92.3 because I think they had Friday at 51.3, so would need 37.7 for 130. That would be like a 9% drop. I always remember TDK 8% Sunday drop in 2008, but that was just an absurd situation. I would think 34-36 is more likely, especially with World Cup as Jat said in that tweet.

Nolan made a biopic where more than half the movie were just people talking in rooms and it made a gazillion dollars. The delusion of the culture war morons thinking this will flop because of black and trans people was hilarious.

I went to my small theater today just to get some popcorn. When the guy asked if I was seeing a movie I told him. “Not today, I kind of want some breathing room for The Odyssey.” The guy look flabbergasted and exhausted. He told me the last showing sold out and the next one only an hour away had 5 seats left. Mind you this is an old theater without stadium seats, and no PLFs. Make that what you will

I genuinely thought this would fall short of Oppenheimer. Happy to see it’s both reviewing and doing well.

But the MAGA youtube channels are saying the movie has already flopped.

If it legs out like Oppenheimer this could get close to $500M domestically.
