The Odyssey has reached 1.35 billion dollars in worldwide box-office receipts, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
The figure, reported on 21 August 2026, pushes the Christopher Nolan-directed adaptation past the previous record held by Deadpool & Wolverine.
The Guardian confirmed the milestone. The film opened strongly and has sustained earnings across multiple markets despite its restricted rating.
Nolan’s previous films have also posted large global totals, but none carried an R rating that limited younger audiences. The Odyssey’s performance shows demand for large-scale adult-oriented storytelling remains high.
No further breakdown by territory or remaining theatrical run length was immediately available. The record stands as of the latest industry tallies.
