Although the record-breaking opening weekend haul of Spider-Man: Brand New Day might have stolen the summer spotlight, Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic The Odyssey is still receiving plenty of attention. In its third weekend in theaters, and despite the arrival of Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker, The Odyssey scored another $51 million domestically, marking a drop of just 43% as it edges even closer to the all-important billion-dollar mark. The Odyssey is expected to hit this milestone this weekend, which would make it only Nolan’s third movie to make $1 billion after The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
Key to the success of The Odyssey is its cast, with three — Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal — all also starring in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Alongside this trio in Nolan’s latest starry ensemble are the likes of Matt Damon, who headlines as the King of Ithaca, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Anne Hathaway. The latter of this group is currently in the middle of one of the busiest and most impressive years of her stellar career so far, which began with a titular turn in A24’s Mother Mary.
In late April, Hathaway delivered her second feature of the year, as she reprised one of her most famous roles in the legacy sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2. Critics might’ve been split by the film, with some complaining that it lacks the bite of the beloved original. But simply bringing together Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt for one more collaboration was always going to prove a crowd-pleaser, one that Collider’s own Taylor Gates called “a near-perfect blend of nostalgia and newness” in her review. This is proven several months later by The Devil Wears Prada 2‘s streaming arrival, as it currently ranks as the most-watched movie on Disney+ worldwide.
