Universal’s big-screen adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey” becomes the studio’s highest-grossing movie ever at the global box office, reaching about $1.684 billion by the end of the weekend, according to the reported totals from multiple outlets.
The film is credited with overtaking Universal’s previous record holder, “Jurassic World,” which finished its run in 2015 with about $1.677 billion worldwide. One outlet frames the change as a clear margin over the earlier benchmark, while another similarly emphasizes that “The Odyssey” exceeds $1.677 billion to claim the top spot.
Both reports describe the achievement as a worldwide box-office milestone and identify the same comparison film and threshold, with the main difference being the timing and the exact figures cited for “The Odyssey’s” current total during its run.
