Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild.
$250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem.
IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired.
The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window.
Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son.
That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards.
The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it.
His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist.
Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years.
Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone.
July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.
Quadcopters playing the sounds of children screaming for help and then murdering those who came to assist.....
Read that again.

Imagine if you were living in these conditions. Remember them when you are in sujood.
The genocide continues.
NEW: Far-Right individuals paid up to £70,000 to go and kill innocent Muslims during the Bosnian Genocide
Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italian tourists who are accused of paying £70,000 to join ‘human safaris’, shooting and killing innocent Bosnian Muslims in the 1990s .
Prosecutors allege these ‘tourists’, many of whom had ties to far-right circles, paid the Bosnian Serb army for weekend trips to besieged Sarajevo, where they shot from rooftops at the city below.
They paid an additional fee to kill children with the sniper rifles, according to the court filing.
Between 1992 and 1996, more than 11,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by shelling and sniper fire in the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare.
During the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996). Wealthy foreigners traveled to Bosnia and paid Serbian forces up to 90,000$ for the “thrill” of shooting at Bosniak Muslim civilians trapped in the city.
Men, women, and CHILDREN, became targets for sport.
Muslims were systematically dehumanized, portrayed as enemies, pests, and less than human. Propaganda turned compassion into cruelty, making it possible for outsiders to see human life as nothing more than moving targets.
This was not just war. It was a grotesque intersection of hatred, money, and voyeurism, a genocide turned into entertainment.
The so called “Sarajevo Safari” exposed the darkest truth of human nature. When hate and propaganda strip people of their humanity even murder can be sold as a game.
The world watched. The world knew. And yet it looked away.
May some justice finally emerge and may the perpetrators one day face the punishment they deserve.
I was right there in 1971. The whole area was rubble of Palestinian houses that had been demolished after the families living in them were thrown out so Jews could have more room to pray at the Wall.
I didn't really know what I was seeing. Now I understand clearly.
There is no "holiness" in a house built on stolen land.
אין קדושה בארץ כבושה.
