Over the weekend, Christopher Nolan‘s “The Odyssey” will begin its epic big-screen journey.

The big-budget historical adventure is projected to open to $90 million to $100 million from 3,900 North American theaters. Anywhere in this range would rank as Nolan’s biggest debut since 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises” ($160 million). At the higher end of estimates, “The Odyssey” would be only the third release this year to debut above $100 million following “Toy Story 5” ($159 million) and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” ($131 million).
