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.

@Flipkart 6/7 books that I ordered recently were pirated. Not the nice Flora Fountain kind too; more of the 50 rupee traffic light ones. Not cool, guys.

@safalniveshak Fair point, but to play the devil’s advocate; this business has always existed - just the medium of delivery has shifted. From the bylanes surrounding the BSE to now YouTube. There will always be people giving gyaan and people taking it without context.

@vikashmantri Not necessarily. The tech exists. Point is, will the discerning customer pay.

The inside stories of George Floyd, whose death sparked an inflection point in the modern civil-rights movement, and the man charged with his murder. This is an extraordinary read and a great piece of journalism https://t.co/JaH8mJezMh

In Spain, a taxi driver was known for taking patients to the hospital, free of charge.

One day, he got a call to pickup a patient from the hospital.

When he arrived, doctors and nurses surprised him with a standing ovation, plus an envelope of money. 🇪🇸�

They may not figure in the Forbes Rich list but in my view, they are amongst the richest people in our country.Their wealth is their attitude to life. The next time I’m in their town I am definitely dropping by for tea & a tour of their exhibits..
