Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has surpassed Star Wars: A New Hope's $460 million domestic haul, grossing $461 million, while also topping $1 billion globally. It became Nolan's highest-grossing film, overtaking The Dark Knight Rises. Released July 17 on a reported $250 million budget, the Matt Damon-led epic holds 94% critics' and 97% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes. That $461 million total passes an unadjusted Star Wars figure; far more people saw the 1977 original. The Odyssey ranks among the top 30 domestic grossers and may soon top $500 million.
