Great job Christopher Nolan on your filmmaking in The Odyssey.

Matt Damon was good. Anne Hathaway was terrific. The casting was well done and not surprise with Nolan directing.

On Wednesday we march.

THE ODYSSEY packed theaters again yesterday with $18M, $181M total.

[The Moonlight Warrior 🌙 @BlackMajikMan90]

The Odyssey is tracking for a 117 million domestic opening weekend.

Grifters have no power, so stop acting like they can kill a film.

They can’t and they never will.

Just make great movies and everything else will fall into place.

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

THE ODYSSEY's first Wednesday looks like $18M, total of $181.7M domestic. Compared to OPPENHEIMER: $10.6M for a $117.9M. Gonna make a run at $500M domestic. Wild stuff.

[Exhibitor Relations Co. @ERCboxoffice]

True respect in Hollywood is having all other studios steer clear of your film on opening weekend--THE ODYSSEY achieved that.

Legendary status is having a two week window in the middle of summer without another major studio release. Who has that kind of pull?

Not Marvel. Not Pixar. Not Star Wars.

Christopher Nolan.

[Global Box Office @GlobalBoxOffice]

THE ODYSSEY overperformed again yesterday and recorded the biggest Tuesday ever for a Christopher Nolan film with over $21M, surpassing THE DARK KNIGHT ($20.8M).

"We off the grid, grid, grid" - Ye (Donda)

[MJay 🇪🇸🇧🇷🇺🇸🇨🇦 @SinhaleseSavage]

Kanye West wrote "Off The Grid" in a DONDA recording session held in the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta

Today, Messi is playing on that same pitch, making this bar come true 5 years later

[Martin @Readestates]

Messi going for back to back World Cup title with his win in SemiFinals in Atlanta against Bellingham.

Messi is the 🐐

[MessiXtra @MessiXtraHQ]

Never ever doubt the GOAT. 🐐

[gallardo @humangallardo]

ye has engineered the live show to a degree not seen before, the audience is part of the show.

the stage looks great from any angle.

he designed the iPhone of stages.

Financially it solves all sorts of ticketing/pricing issues.

It will be studied.

Jaylen Brown is winning a championship and teaching at MIT in his spare time while Brad Stevens keeps overvaluing role players and undervaluing his best one.
Of course Brad thinks he knows basketball better than the players. 76ers GM disagrees.

[DJ @GiftedByGame]

Jaylen Brown hosts lectures at MIT in his spare time while the people whose job is to know basketball say Derrick White is better than him. Of course he thinks he’s smarter than you.

[MC @CrewsMat10]

THIS IS THE BEST ANGLE OF LIONEL MESSI’S GOAL BY FAR. 😭😭

The goalkeeper completely froze… bro just accepted his fate. 🐐🇦🇷 https://t.co/yABSpqQDav

[Real App @realapp]

Most wins by a player over the last 10 years:

523 — Jaylen Brown
517 — Nikola Jokic
513 — James Harden

[Martin @Readestates]

Banning Ye was the move.

Starmer’s resignation was the result.

One man left the building. The other never needed to enter.

[Martin @Readestates]

Most watched NBA Finals since Michael Jordan.

Jordan is still the ratings King

[Alex Sherman @sherman4949]

Huge TV ratings numbers again for Disney and the NBA:

24.5 million for Game 5, peaking at 33 million. Most watched Game 5 since 1998. Most watched G5 ever on ESPN.

The finals overall also most watched in 28 years — as was the playoffs overall.

[The Hollywood Handle @HollywoodHandle]

‘MICHAEL’ crossed $930M globally.

Budget was $200M.

[Martin @Readestates]

@FlintGreyJune @SaycheeseDGTL @BigLes336 He lives well without your support. Keep "caring" as you post about a man selling out stadiums worldwide.

Hopefully the 'juke joint" has your favorite artist there to comfort all "real" 2-3 people who can fit in the "joint"

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

‘MICHAEL’ is officially the biggest music biopic of all-time.

[Finn Mallery @fin465]

everyone's sleeping on how absurdly good 2026 is to start a company (even compared to 2024)

one person can now:

- ship full apps without engineers (cursor, replit)
- design without being a designer (v0, Claude Design)
- turn one video into 10 clips (opus, descript)
- push those clips to millions (X, Linkedin, TikTok)
- replace a support team (chatbase, intercom)
- literally watch exactly what their users do (Posthog)
- find + target perfect leads on autopilot (origami)

This is such a rare window. I just can’t imagine it being this easy ever again
