Friends, Grecians, and countrypersons — lend us your ears: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has officially landed on multiplex shores. The mega-budgeted, all-star epic will host its first showings for the general moviegoing public on Thursday, but critics are already weighing in with their takes on Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s classic saga.

This is the celebrated director’s first movie since 2023’s Oppenheimer awarded him h

“Moana” failed to make a splash at the box office, earning $43 million from 3,827 North American theaters in its opening weekend.

Those ticket sales, though enough for No. 1 on box office charts, are disastrous given the live-action “Moana” remake has a massive $250 million production budget — and that’s before Disney’s hefty marketing spend.

Are the Minions losing their star power?

Although “Minions & Monsters,” a 1920s Hollywood-set prequel in the animated “Despicable Me” universe, led the box office over the Fourth of July weekend, the well-reviewed family film opened way behind projections with $36 million from 4,243 North American locations between Friday and Monday and $64.5 million since Wednesday.
