Fun fact: “The Odyssey” UNDERPERFORMED internationally too! $139.6 million from 73 international markets is absolutely DISASTROUS relative to the expectations, budget, and Nolan brand. And even moreso when you consider Nolan's home territory, UK/Ireland, delivered only a measley $17.4M! Other markets: 🇫🇷 France — $13.7M 🇮🇹 Italy — $11.5M 🇦🇺 Australia — $9.2M 🇩🇪 Germany — $8.0M 🇮🇳 India — $7.2M 🇲🇽 Mexico — $7.0M 🇪🇸 Spain — $5.2M 🇧🇷 Brazil — $4.7M 🇦🇪 UAE — $3.0M And the remaining 63 smaller markets combined contributed about $52.7M - less than $1 million per territory. For a $400M investment and a Nolan-level event film, these numbers should be much higher. Don't believe the hype.

The trans actress plays the role of the deceiver whose lie convinces the Trojans to open their gates to their civilization’s destruction. Make of that what you will.

What's most striking about the woke aspects of Nolan's Odyssey is not their inclusion but their magnitude. The casting isn't just colorblind; it's precisely, clinically "diverse." The actress who plays Helen isn't just black; she describes herself as "dark as night." Achilles, the most fearsome warrior in the world, is recast as another warrior played by a diminutive "trans" woman. Of all the great versions of the poem, Nolan chose the most feminist translation as his source text. It's all just so over the top. The director who made one of the most conservative films of our time, The Dark Night, seems not just to have accepted the standards of his woke contemporaries but even to have exceeded them. It's puzzling, until one remembers the subject: Odysseus, the symbol of cunning, guile, trickery. Given the Academy's adoption of DEI requirements in 2024, has Nolan perhaps chosen not merely to depict but to imitate his hero?

They got more hate than screentime 😭

Every single review I’m seeing on 𝕏 is wildly negative… so what’s going on here?

If THE ODYSSEY is as big a hit as the early numbers are suggesting, I do wonder if we’ll look back at the bizarre three week stretch where Elon and his cronies tried to argue that Uwe Boll is a more compelling filmmaker than Christopher Nolan as Peak Woke Right.

The main stars in this film give the best performances in their career, but It's truly the supporting roles that give this movie so much heart. Himesh Patel, John Leguizamo, Samantha Morton, and Elliot Page each steal their scene

No one made the right say that this was a woke movie bound to fail lmao
