Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey tops 2.5 billion kronor in opening weekend

Christopher Nolan's film "The Odyssey" exceeded expectations during its opening weekend. The film grossed the equivalent of more than 2.5 billion kronor globally.

“The Odyssey” is the first feature film to be shot entirely on IMAX cameras. It’s a major undertaking that follows Nolan’s Oscar-winning smash hit “Oppenheimer” from three years ago.

The film had an even better debut than "Oppenheimer" and became Nolan's best opening result since "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012.

The film is an almost three-hour interpretation of the ancient story of how Odysseus, after the ten-year Trojan War, spends another ten trying to get home to the island of Ithaca, where his wife Penelope is waiting.
