Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has generated more than $4.1 million in ticket sales at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, making the venue the highest-grossing theater for a single film in history, it was announced Monday.<\/p>\n
The milestone was reached Sunday, 37 days after the Universal Pictures and Syncopy film opened in theaters, according to representatives for the TCL Chinese Theatre.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe TCL Chinese Theatre has been at the center of Hollywood\u2019s moviegoing history for nearly a century, making this an extraordinary milestone for both the theatre and `The Odyssey,\u201d\u2019 Jim Orr, Universal Pictures\u2019 president of domestic distribution, said. \u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous achievement for Chris, Emma and the entire Syncopy team, and a real testament to the singular cinematic experience they\u2019ve created.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d Nolan\u2019s adaptation of Homer\u2019s ancient Greek epic, opened July 17 and was the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, along with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.<\/p>\n
The movie has also become the highest-grossing film of Nolan\u2019s career and the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to our incredible partners at Universal and IMAX, and of course to Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas for bringing us a film that embodies everything that is great about going to the movies,\u201d Brett Fellman, president of film and marketing for TCL Chinese Theatres, said.<\/p>\n
Nolan wrote and directed the film and produced it with Thomas through their Syncopy production company. The movie was filmed using newly developed IMAX technology and was shot in locations around the world.<\/p>\n
