Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Sets New R Rated Box Office Record

Christopher Nolan has another massive win on his hands. His adaptation of The Odyssey has officially become the highest grossing R rated film in history. It managed to pull in around 1.35 billion dollars worldwide, pushing past the previous record holder, Deadpool and Wolverine.

This is a major milestone for a film that faces naturally limited audiences due to its R rating. The movie earned its rating in the United States because of its intense violence and language. Fans are still flocking to theaters to see this three hour epic, proving that audiences are hungry for massive stories on the big screen.

It is impressive to see an adaptation of a classic poem reach such heights in a modern theatrical market. As the film continues its run, it will be interesting to see just how far the final total goes. For now, it stands as the king of R rated cinema.
