biggest International Territories are British and French
Toy Story 5, Moana, Obsession have not really challenged the Nolan remake of Odyssey
slow openings in Asia but if it gets a release and does good in China, SKorea and Japan then you are looking at it pushing in the direction of 1 Billion?

Why isn't anyone listening to me about 'The Odyssey'? | Opinion
Despite all my productive and intellectual online shouting, the movie has made $652 million worldwide since its July 17 release. And even more frustratingly, I'm still single.

Like most normal, well-adjusted men, I have spent every waking moment since Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” opened in theaters feeling apoplectically angry about Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.”
I have rage-posted online, noting that by casting people who are different than me, the director ruined a beloved epic poem I never actually read. I have blamed wokeness for creating a world in which an ancient work of absolute fiction can be sullied by what I, making perfect sense, angrily claim to be historical inaccuracies.
Yet despite all my productive and intellectual online shouting, the movie has made $652 million worldwide since its July 17 release. And even more frustratingly, I’m still single.
I struggle to understand these developments. Are people not hearing my well-thought-out protestations that the boats we see in the movie look like Viking ships and not the penteconters used by ancient Greeks? Have I not been agreeing loudly enough with right-wing intellectuals like Elon Musk, who back in May responded “True” to an X post that read: “The destruction of the Odyssey by Nolan and the Left isn’t just about a movie. It’s about Western Civilization. The Greeks were its foundation. From Democracy to Art to Philosophy to Culture. The Left wants to destroy Western Civilization and everything that helped create it.”
Why are people shelling out millions of dollars to see a film that so obviously presents a clear-and-present danger to everything men on the internet have told me I must hold dear? Has Big Hollyweird shadow-banned my social media accounts? Did I forget to turn on the microphone before yelling into it on recent episodes of my podcast “Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Is a Threat to Masculinity, Please Date Me”?
Why are people not listening to my sensible anti-The-Odyssey rage?
You can’t tell me rugged online men, sweatily exasperated that Nolan portrayed the Greek king Agamemnon wearing a black helmet that looked like it came off a Batman movie set, are somehow a minority voice in America.
You can’t suggest that White, cisgender guys whose views on masculinity were adopted from wealthy, bigoted men who yell about things on the internet are overreacting to a fictional story involving a Cyclops and mythical sirens by demanding historical accuracy.
How dare moviegoers not listen to me! Don’t they know there’s a male loneliness epidemic going on and nobody can figure out why it’s happening?

so it looks like Nolan's Odyssey remake might already be yesterday's news
pre-ticket sales for Spider-Man in China might be insane, it could be targeting $250 million...these are insane numbers, so I guess all that China tiktok spyphone mobile cell phone app data is good for something
Nolan's Odyssey so far has made ZERO bucks in China, SKorea, Japan
the numbers look insane over 2 billion...it could be the first 2 plus Billion since Covid and Avatar: The Way of Water, Ne Zha 2 etc but 'Spider-Man No Way Home' got very close in year 2021

bye bye Nolan, bye bye Emma Thomas, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson etc
now its Tom Holland vs Tom Holland

Uh huh...
They've run out of American-hating liberals to go see it.
Everybody knows this is a shit movie, and anyone who paid to see it got what they deserved. They pissed away money and got themselves a good 4 hour nap in the air conditioned theater.
This movie ain't shit.
Spider-Man had to come back to prove that by absolutely destroying it.
Like I said over a month ago... Anybody who hasn't seen Spider-Man on opening weekend or The Odyssey is going to be left with that choice going forward.
Which one do you think people are going to pick?

Just FYI, Jaynez's $168 Million vs $14.5 Million figures were the box office yesterday. But I need to point that out because it's pretty accidentally disingenuous to frame that comparison and doesn't paint the actual picture, which is already the destruction of The Odyssey and doesn't need to have inflated numbers to make the point.
The $14.5 Million The Odyssey made last night is the legit Friday domestic numbers for its 3rd Friday in the theaters.
The $168 Million that Spider-Man made "last night" also includes preview Thursday, which was a mind-boggling $72 Million that also happens to be more than Avengers: End Game got.
You can compare Spider-Man's $72 Million preview to The Odyssey's $17.6 Million.
Or you can compare Spider-Man's $168 Million Friday number with The Odyssey's first Friday number of $51 Million. (since both of these include Thursday previews).
Or you can compare each real opening Friday number with Spider-Man's $96 Million to The Odyssey's $34.4 Million.
Though I do not believe that Spider-Man will make anywhere near 3 Billion worldwide, the average of those 3 numbers is well over 3 times what the Odyssey did.
