Melinda Sue Gordon With a sensational second weekend at the box office, it’s clear “The Odyssey” will have a long — and epic — journey in theaters.
Christopher Nolan‘s take on Homer’s 3,000-year-old poem, starring Matt Damon as the Greek king Odysseus, has generated a remarkable $652 million worldwide, including $289 million domestically and $362 million internationally after just 10 days of release. It’s already the sixth-highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year at the global box office — no small feat for a sword-and-sandal epic that’s rated R and clocks in at nearly three hours.
