BREAKING! “THE ODYSSEY” opened with a huge $17.6 million in Thursday night previews, beating “TOY STORY 5” ($17.5m) as the biggest preview opening of 2026! On track to pass $100 mil domestic for the weekend, beating Nolan’s Oscar-winning “OPPENHEIMER” ($82 mil)!
I have seen Christopher Nolans #TheOdyssey. Full review when I get home, but for now Christopher Nolan is the greatest filmmaker alive today and The Odyssey will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made. I'm speechless and in awe of what I've witnessed.
Oh no! When it is all said and done Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will have made more money at the box office than Superman's James Gunn and Supergirl combined.
Massive cheers and applause out of the NYC premiere for #TheOdyssey. A second watch is essential imo. Found myself overwhelmed by emotions the second time through. Lots of tears. Leaned into the details, lost myself in Ludwig’s incredible score.
I feel confident in saying this is Nolan’s best film to date. Epic, ridiculously engrossing and cinema at its absolute finest. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, but this exists so maybe they still do!
#TheOdyssey is an experience… Maybe THE experience of 2026. Nolan has crafted something monumental. While it’s an impressive spectacle, the performances are fantastic… A few of them are nomination locks. Ludwig Göransson is a madman. His current composing streak is one for the ages, and this is some of his best work yet. There are remarkable set pieces, sweeping emotional moments, and one sequence that will be seared into my mind going forward. It definitely takes a second to settle in, but once it does, the film never lets up.
Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey is rightfully being heralded as a masterclass in filmmaking. An expansive scope makes way for an intimately told mythological tale. Score, cinematography, costume & production design all inform narrative. Hathaway, Holland & Pattinson, standouts.
