Summary
The Odyssey posted a 97% Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter score from 1,000-plus verified audience ratings after Thursday previews, the highest audience mark of Christopher Nolan’s career.
That audience response follows a 96% critics’ score that held steady even as the Tomatometer review count climbed from 145 to 337 ahead of the film’s nationwide Friday opening.
The new ranking puts The Odyssey ahead of Nolan’s previous audience leaders—Memento, The Dark Knight and Batman Begins—each at 94%.
The R-rated Homer adaptation stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, with Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson in a cast that also includes Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
The 97% score could still shift as more verified ratings arrive, but the early reception suggests another major hit for Nolan after Oppenheimer.
