Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has officially made movie history.
The epic has overtaken “Deadpool & Wolverine” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, earning about $1.35 billion worldwide.
That pushes the film past the Marvel blockbuster, which previously held the record with roughly $1.34 billion.
Based on Homer’s ancient Greek epic, “The Odyssey” follows Odysseus as he battles monsters, gods and danger on his long journey home after the Trojan War.
Matt Damon leads the film as Odysseus, alongside Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson.
The box office triumph gives Nolan another massive commercial win, but this one comes with an even bigger prize: “The Odyssey” now stands as the biggest R-rated movie in history.
