Movie Highlights & Write-Ups
#1 The Odyssey – $87 Million (–30%)
Christopher Nolan’s massive adaptation of Homer’s epic continues to rewrite the rules. Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong’o, the film follows the king of Ithaca on his perilous journey home after the Trojan War. Shot entirely on IMAX film cameras with a reported $250 million budget, it opened to $123.5 million and dropped a remarkably strong 30% in week two — the best second-weekend hold of Nolan’s career. Domestic total now stands at $286 million, with worldwide already near $640 million. Audiences and critics continue to praise the scale, practical effects, and Ludwig Göransson score.
#2 Moana – $10.5 Million (–41%) Disney’s live-action remake, starring Catherine Laga’aia as Moana and Dwayne Johnson as Maui, continues to perform solidly with families. The film has now crossed $102 million domestic and $228 million worldwide. While the drop was steeper than hoped, the audience scores remain strong and the movie still has legs through the rest of summer.
