Just dropped my narrative breakdown of Citizen http://Vigilante. Is it actually a movie… or a political message wearing a film’s clothing?I break down the lack of character arc, the chaotic structure, how Sanders works as a symbol, and why this film feels more like a statement than a story. Also compared it to Law Abiding Citizen and V for http://Vendetta. You might love the message or hate it — but it definitely sparks http://debate. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=iYhJhU… What do you think — necessary warning or dangerous exaggeration? #CitizenVigilante #MovieAnalysis #FilmTwitter #NarrativeBreakdown #PoliticalCinema

‘The Odyssey’ has not yet outgrossed ‘Oppenheimer’ at the domestic box office on an inflation-adjusted basis.The Odyssey (2026): $334.2 million Oppenheimer (2023): $330.1 million → ≈ $361–362 million in mid-2026 dollars (using ~9.5–9.6% cumulative U.S. CPI inflation from summer 2023 to summer 2026)

THE ODYSSEY ($334.2M) has officially surpassed OPPENHEIMER ($330M) yesterday, becoming Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing non- Batman film ever.

@YellowFlashGuy I want to believe.

Really looking forward to this one as well.

The fact that this movie made so much money is clearly an example of the decline of culture in modern society, because all of us who have read Homer’s poem are the ones who have criticized this filmic travesty the most. Only those who don’t have the slightest idea of what the original work is like celebrate it as such.

Saw The Odyssey last night and can’t get it out of my mind. So many rich layers. So much that works on you, even if you don’t understand it at first. It’s potent in a vivid and hidden way and it demands multiple watches. This is a mythic movie that speaks into our culture.

@Lizmej12 @MorningBrew This retard isn’t taking the inflation adjustment into account.

@MorningBrew Oppenheimer competed with Barbie but it’s also based on a real current event and ppl just love Greek mythology. This is easy to see

'The Odyssey' has officially outgrossed 'Oppenheimer' at the domestic box office • The Odyssey $334.2 million • Oppenheimer $330.1 million It took 'Oppenheimer' 595 days to reach that total 'The Odyssey' did it in 13.

There are so many retards out there: ‘The Odyssey’ has not yet outgrossed ‘Oppenheimer’ at the domestic box office on an inflation-adjusted basis.The Odyssey (2026): $334.2 million Oppenheimer (2023): $330.1 million → ≈ $361–362 million in mid-2026 dollars (using ~9.5–9.6% cumulative U.S. CPI inflation from summer 2023 to summer 2026)

@NolanAnalyst It’s going to sound like sarcasm, but it’s not. Thanks for being honest with the numbers. The Odyssey surpassed Oppenheimer, but it’s still a long way from the first two Batman movies.

‘THE ODYSSEY’ has surpassed ‘OPPENHEIMER’ at the domestic box office.

@azredscorpion @GeekVibesNation China keeps 75% of the revenue—which increases the amount they need to make to break even.

Won't happen. Summary of the adjusted break-even for *The Odyssey* per Grok: - Costs: ~$400M (prod + marketing). - Nolan: 10% of studio’s share. - Studio keeps ~50% outside China, only ~25% in China. - IMAX adds a small extra drain (~$26M at $1.33B WW). **Result:** Needs roughly **$1.36B just in the US** (or a very high worldwide total) to break even for the studio. Strong ticket sales and popularity do not automatically mean profit under these terms—China’s poor split and talent points raise the bar sharply. Current ~$650M WW (China still ahead) is solid but still has work to do against this elevated threshold. The Odyssey may be popular but it's not going to make a profit, hence it is a flop.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has surpassed $700M worldwide. With a reported $250M budget, the film is now closing in on the $1B mark

700 is not close to 1000. The movie cost 375 million including marketing. After deducting the 50% that stays with the theaters, they need to make 750 million just to break even. That’s only domestic, because internationally—for example, China keeps 75% of the revenue—which increases the amount they need to make to break even. That’s just how things are.

@jagatjitpanda @chakravartiiin These people are so dishonest or ignorant when citing numbers. It gets embarrassing because she’s insinuating — just like some other idiot said — that the producers are laundering money. On top of that, she’s giving exaggerated value to mediocre performances like Zendaya’s.

@chakravartiiin Your Source for Budgets of the First Two Movies is Wikipedia. Acc to Wikipedia, Ramayana Budget is 230M not 500M. Total 500M includes Marketing Budget. Odyssey 250M doesn't include that. It cost extra 125M for them. And Ramayana is two movies so Marketing cost will be higher.

Ramayana's budget is more than both the Odyssey and spiderman Brand New Day budgets combined. Where did all that money go? They are neither using practical effects or real locations like Nolan nor have top tier talent like tom holland. What's all this money for then?

They’re $500 million for two movies, and let’s be honest — they look visually better than Nolan’s Odyssey. Besides, you can’t compare actors from other countries with those from Hollywood because you don’t know if their value or talent is equal to or better than Tom Holland’s, since you mentioned him.

@Jaack_17 @Pirat_Nation I can understand that you liked it, but from there to calling it “great”? Only someone who has never touched Homer’s work in their life would display such absolute ignorance.

@Pirat_Nation Nothing really strange here, movie is great

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has earned over $727 million worldwide after just 12 days in theaters. It has made $320.5 million in North America and $407.4 million internationally, making it the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far. It’s also one of the fastest box office successes of Nolan’s career.

@ku_ds17868 @Pirat_Nation Everyone is so ignorant that they don’t think about the inflation adjustment, the variation in ticket prices, and the 75% percentage that China keeps.

@Pirat_Nation more than half the money came from overseas. the odyssey didn't need to be american to sell.

What the fuck are you talking about. The fact that this movie is on its way to breaking even doesn’t make it a runaway success. On top of that, everyone is so ignorant that they don’t think about the inflation adjustment, the variation in ticket prices, and the 75% percentage that China keeps. That, plus the fact that this movie only sold because the name Christopher Nolan is attached to it. If it had been any other director it wouldn’t even have reached 200 million, and I seriously doubt that after this movie Nolan will ever sell the way he sold in the past.

@Pirat_Nation Woke go broke took a weekend off apparently

@Pirat_Nation Wokeness is back. Such a great way to end July.

In fact, yes. They are NOT inflated, but the information is presented in a malicious way because they don’t take into account either the inflation adjustment or the variation in ticket prices. If we only take Nolan’s movies, it would be the third. On top of that, they still haven’t broken even because to do that it needs to generate 750 million, since the theaters keep half. With the exception of China, where they keep 75%

@Pirat_Nation There’s been a lot of pushback towards this film. I’m wondering if these numbers are inflated in some way or if they’re actually genuine. I’m a little surprised it’s done so well tbh with all the hate towards it.

Oh, sorry, I had forgotten that presenting Circe as a victim of sexual abuse, omitting Calypso’s abusive backstory, replacing Helen with a Black woman, giving the same actress the role of the sister, including a character from another work to give the part to a transgender actor/actress, and changing the original ending because the director considered it misogynistic is not being woke. Sorry, my mistake.

@MisterOptical @Pirat_Nation It's not woke

@MisterOptical @Pirat_Nation Do you understand the concept of inflation and price variation??

@Pirat_Nation “If it’s woke it goes broke..”

Since none of you know how to make an inflation adjustment or take into account the variation in ticket prices, I’m going to explain it with apples and oranges so that you understand. The Dark Knight $950 M – 1.200 M (~1,7-2,0×) The Dark Knight Rises ~$800 M – 1.000 M (~1,4-1,6×) The Odyssey $728 M (1,0×)
