Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has crossed $1.1 billion worldwide, becoming his highest-grossing film and IMAX's biggest release ever, with $289 million from IMAX screens alone.

The film, shot entirely on 70mm IMAX cameras, made $461.1 million domestically and $643.6 million internationally in four weeks, and is the second-highest-grossing R-rated film ever behind Deadpool & Wolverine.

Elon Musk has criticized Nolan's casting of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and says he'll produce his own version using xAI's Grok image generator.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Nothing says confidence in your artistic vision like threatening to out-produce a billion-dollar Christopher Nolan film with an AI chatbot's image generator because you didn't like the casting. The market has weighed in; the market chose the guy who uses actual cameras.
