Christopher Nolan revealed that, throughout his entire career, he has only witnessed a film crew spontaneously applaud an actor’s performance on set twice. The first instance was Heath Ledger’s unforgettable portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight. The second came decades later with Samantha Morton’s performance as Circe in The Odyssey. The Odyssey has made a massive impact at the box office, reportedly earning $300 million worldwide in its opening run and becoming one of the biggest debuts of Christopher Nolan’s career. When adjusted for inflation, the film represents Nolan’s strongest opening since The Dark Knight Rises. Its success highlights the continued demand for ambitious, large-scale original filmmaking, especially when a legendary story is brought to life on the biggest possible screen.(Historic Vids)
