The Elevated Fanboy Cult of Christopher Nolan

That Christopher Nolan would hit a home run with “The Odyssey” was as predictable as Odysseus’s return to Ithaca. What’s maybe a little more surprising is that he has hit a grand slam. The movie earned a staggering $124 million its opening weekend, with its IMAX showings sold out for the rest of the millennium (or close enough to it). Internationally, the film was Nolan’s biggest opening to date.
