This benchmark comes with a caveat because ticket sales weren’t adjusted for inflation.
You know, you're the journalist writing the article. You could have just done that math for us instead of writing the parenthetical caveat

He's a journalist, not mathematician! :)
Most likely written by AI. LLMs love to write "caveat"
One caveat there - so do I.
“If you don’t see ‘The Odyssey’ in Imax, you aren’t seeing it in the way that Chris Nolan intended,” says the company’s CEO
Translation "please don't pirate this movie. I know everyone prefers to just watch it at home in their underwear to having to deal with those kids in the back talking and the risk of getting long covid. But, please, think of our million dollar salaries."
Don't worry, I won't pirate it.
I really want to wait so I can go to an IMAX to eTvh this film. Any recommendations or arguments against it?
Wear earplugs! I watched it at home and the opening scene still shook the room. "It's supposed to be loud" is a really dumb reason to get ear damage.
What was the budget + marketing for this movie?
Still annoyed by the armour not invented until hundreds of years later, though.
Wait to you hear about the historically inaccurate cyclops and sirens.
We all know that was just some one eyed Minoan and a bunch of Mycenaean trollops.
Well actschually, the Cyclops was most likely a dead elephant, but why care about the details, Nolan clearly doesn't.
I mean a reanimated dead elephant would be pretty badass. Maybe we can get that in the more historically accurate work of fantasy, the Winds of Winter.
Wow that would be awesome. But what fiction will come first, Winds of Winter or return of Christ?
Gandhi II was a masterpiece. Hoping for the later.
Its fantasy...
Imagine if someone in a thousand years found starwars and people got shitty because we didnt have real light sabers yet
I have no problem with that. My problem is that it is fantasy set in a real time in human history, and it deviates from that source it is based on. It is an adoption of a great work of art and it fumbles with the details.
Fuck the chuds who thought it'd flop because of Elliot Page and a black Helen of Troy.
A fully accurate movie about ancient Greece would have a lot MORE queer stuff
right wingers have always got thier panties in a wad over ELLIOT page because he transitioned.
it was more because he's supposed to be a super soldier and he weighs 96 lbs.
Totally not because he's a total joke of a soldier

Critical Drinker got this one completely wrong.
It doesn't matter, he already made his money from the faux outrage he and other right wing grifters successfully generated. Whether his predictions are accurate is irrelevant because he doesn't have a reputation as a real film critic to uphold and the social media debate cycle is so fast nowadays that he can immediately pivot to a new "controversy" and start milking that.
Didn't they say it would make lots of money because it is a Christopher Nolan movie.

Nolan to chuds:
I liked it, but I found it visually disappointing. No gods except Athena, Sirens boring, Hades boring, Circe boring (except the transformation scene, that was sick).
Nolan was essentially making it so the gods were just figments of people’s imagination.
