Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” becomes the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time at the worldwide box office, reaching about $1.352 billion and overtaking “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which previously held the record at roughly $1.33–$1.338 billion. Multiple outlets report the new ranking is based on global totals from the films’ theatrical runs.
The outlets frame the moment as a late-stage box-office milestone. Deadline and Forbes emphasize the record change directly, while Variety and The Hollywood Reporter also include context that Ryan Reynolds publicly referenced the record on social media before it was confirmed. Gizmodo adds a lighter note referencing a “Deadpool & Wolverine” connection to the word “Odyssey,” but the core point across sources remains the same: “The Odyssey” now sits atop the R-rated global box-office list.
