The Odyssey smashes major box office record

• Sir Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey has become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
• The epic movie has reached $1.35bn (£990m) at the global box office, surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine 's $1.34bn (£980m).
• An R-rating in the US requires under-17s to be accompanied by an adult, which typically limits box office potential.
• In the UK, the film was rated 15 for strong violence, while Australia granted it an M-rating.
• The Odyssey has become Nolan’s best-reviewed movie to date and made $264m in its opening weekend.
