The film ‘The Odyssey’ has overtaken ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ to become Christopher Nolan’s highest‑earning movie worldwide, according to recent box‑office figures reported by The Daily Star.
The latest box‑office data released by The Daily Star shows that Christopher Nolan’s epic adventure film ‘The Odyssey’ has surpassed the 2012 blockbuster ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in total worldwide earnings. The new figure places ‘The Odyssey’ at the top of Nolan’s filmography, with a gross of approximately $1.2 billion.
The milestone comes after the film’s extended theatrical run, during which it attracted audiences across North America, Europe, and Asia. Analysts attribute the surge to the movie’s strong word‑of‑mouth marketing and its appeal to both long‑time Nolan fans and new viewers.
Nolan’s previous record holder, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, had earned about $1.1 billion since its release. The shift in rankings reflects the growing popularity of ‘The Odyssey’ and the continued success of Nolan’s storytelling style.
Industry insiders say the new record will likely influence future projects and distribution strategies for the director’s upcoming releases.
