Casey Affleck revealed at the Zurich Film Festival that he once called Christopher Nolan to settle a debate about 'Tenet' with his son, a move he now finds embarrassing. Affleck admitted the question was so basic it could have been answered on Reddit, and the awkwardness has ended their casual contact.
Casey Affleck used a Zurich Film Festival masterclass to discuss his new film 'Company,' which remains in post-production despite its Venice premiere. He embraced the label of a Hollywood 'outsider,' recalled his 'traumatic' 2016 Oscar win, and shared an anecdote about calling Christopher Nolan for advice on 'Tenet.'

Universal Pictures will campaign Anne Hathaway in the Supporting Actress category for Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey, pairing her with Samantha Morton’s Circe and aiming for a robust Oscar push that could include multiple nominations from the same film as Nolan’s blockbuster vies for best-picture recognition.
Universal's The Odyssey, Nolan's latest, has climbed to $1.684 billion to become the studio's highest-grossing film ever, surpassing Jurassic World as Nolan shifted his output from Warner Bros. after Tenet’s streaming push; the piece also highlights Paramount’s antitrust merger filings, a Sarah Jessica Parker holiday sequel The Families Stone, and A24’s SCP Foundation adaptation facing licensing disputes.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has surpassed Jurassic World to become Universal Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever, with a global box office around $1.684 billion (about $601.2 million domestic), ranking No. 12 on the all-time worldwide chart and as the third-highest-grossing non-franchise title, while setting record openings for Imax 70mm and an R-rated title and helping Universal cross $4 billion worldwide for 2026 (with year-end projections near $4.92 billion).
Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey has become Universal Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever, reaching $1.68 billion worldwide after less than two months in theaters, with $601.2 million domestic and $1.083 billion international, and setting records as the top-grossing R-rated film and the biggest IMAX earner.
Summer 2026 set a new all-time box-office high with about $4.765 billion, narrowly topping the 2013 peak; by Sept. 7, domestic grosses stood at roughly $7.3 billion, about 21% ahead of 2025, with a potential annual total near $10.5 billion—still short of the pre-2015–2019 peak. The surge is attributed to director-driven tentpoles and a revived theatergoing habit, led by Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which helped drive record weekends and underscore that superhero films remain central. However, the piece warns this may be an anomalous year—mixed results among releases persist, and the industry will depend on future competition such as Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday to sustain momentum.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey crossed $1 billion at the international box office, becoming the 17th film to reach the milestone and the first Hollywood non-sequel/non-remake to do so since Avatar (2009). It opened to $264.1M globally with a $139.6M international opening, led by markets such as the UK & Ireland, China, France, Korea, Italy, Germany, Australia, Spain, Mexico and India. The Odyssey is Nolan's biggest opening in many markets and the top Nolan title on IMAX, with more than $457M in Imax earnings, and Universal notes strong year‑to‑date global box office, while extending the film’s 70MM IMAX run through the month.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey crossed $1 billion at the international box office, becoming the 17th film to reach that milestone and the first Hollywood non-sequel/non-remake to do so since Avatar, with about $1.014 billion overseas and record openings in major markets plus strong IMAX performance, per Universal.
Deadline reports that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will extend its IMAX 70mm run through September, adding 11 weeks of showtimes at 39 IMAX 70mm venues through Sept. 30. The film, shot entirely with IMAX cameras, uses the expanded 1.90:1 aspect ratio across most screens (with select IMAX with Laser/70mm sites at 1.43:1), and has been a major IMAX driver, contributing a large share of its global box office while continuing to push the format’s reach.
The Odyssey’s Imax 70mm run has been extended through Sept. 30 due to sustained demand, with Imax ticket sales totaling about $457 million and global box office around $1.55 billion, making it the top-grossing Imax release and the first feature shot entirely with Imax cameras.
Elliot Page said on a podcast that he hasn’t received job offers since appearing in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, expressing a desire to take on meaningful work and noting pushback for being Canadian; fellow Odyssey cast member Samantha Morton described similar post-film casting challenges, highlighting how industry politics and competition can affect opportunities.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day stayed atop the U.K. and Ireland box office for a fifth weekend with about £2.7 million ($3.7 million), lifting its total to £125.5 million after 27 days. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey held second in its seventh week with roughly $3.2 million, pushing its running total to about $107.6 million, while Insidious: Out of the Further, Coyote vs. Acme and other titles filled out the top spots.
In a candid interview, Elliot Page says wrapping The Odyssey hasn’t led to a flood of new offers and that getting cast is “a little tricky” post-transition, though he’s eager to find the right roles. He reflects on past work with Christopher Nolan and notes he now feels more embodied and capable of his best work, suggesting he may pursue projects differently rather than relying on traditional casting arrows.
