\n\tEXCLUSIVE: There\u2019s absolutely no need to get these moviegoers out of here. For Universal<\/a>, they\u2019re doing perfectly well, sitting in cinemas and watching Christopher Nolan<\/a>\u2018s The Odyssey<\/a>. The director\u2019s highest grossing movie ever at $1.59 billion worldwide has crossed another milestone, and that\u2019s that it has become the 17th movie to surpass $1 billion at the international box office.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut what sets this $1 billion-plus grossing pic apart at the overseas B.O. is that it\u2019s the first Hollywood non-sequel and non-remake to achieve this threshold since 2009\u2019s Avatar. <\/p>\n

\n\tThrough yesterday abroad, the Matt Damon-Anne Hathaway-Robert Pattinson-John Leguziamo-Tom Holland-Jon Bernthal epic counts $1.014 billion in international territories. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom its record-breaking opening to this historic milestone,\u00a0The Odyssey\u00a0has captivated audiences around the world,\u201d said Universal Pictures International\u2019s president of distribution Veronika Kwan Vandenberg. \u201cWe are incredibly proud to have partnered with Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and everyone at Syncopy to share this visionary theatrical experience with audiences everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feature take of Homer\u2019s poem had an international opening of $139.6M which was also the director\u2019s biggest international opening ever ahead of\u00a0Oppenheimer\u00a0and\u00a0The Dark Knight Rises\u00a0in like-for-like markets.<\/p>\n
