Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," which premiered on July 16, has already grossed over $930 million worldwide against a production budget of $250 million. The film hasn't been officially released in Russia, but its shadow distribution has propelled five short films used by theaters for pre-screening services into the top 12 highest-grossing releases of the month. In terms of social media discussion intensity, "The Odyssey" is almost three times more popular than Nolan's previous film, "Oppenheimer." RBC reports on who profits from the Homer adaptation, why the translator of the most popular version of "The Odyssey" criticized the film, and how Nolan's most successful release also proved to be his most controversial.

'The Odyssey' fuels Imax stock to all-time high. CEO calls momentum a 'flywheel'
YEScnbc92%match3¢-100%
During opening weekend, Imax CEO Richard Gelfond reported that an average screen equipped for 70 mm brought in a “massive” box-office haul of $153,000. Imax 70 mm screenings of “The Odyssey” will run for months, Gelfond said. • • But Imax can’t quickly multiply screening counts to meet the surge of interest. That’s because only a small share of total Imax theaters are big enough and equipped with the high-cost machinery necessary to project the gigantic rolls of 70 mm film. Imax lists 25 theaters across the U.S. and an additional 16 internationally with its 70 mm presentations of “The Odyssey.” • • Read more:
