The Odyssey becomes Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film

Sir Christopher Nolan's latest cinematic endeavour, The Odyssey, has sailed past the one billion US dollar mark at the global box office, cementing its place as the highest-grossing film of his illustrious career. This monumental achievement comes less than a month after its highly anticipated release.

The blockbuster, which premiered on 17 July, is a sweeping adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic. It stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, chronicling his arduous 10-year journey home following the Trojan War.
