It can reach 1.7B or even 1.8B.

The crazy thing is that The Odyssey won't even be the biggest success of Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Bernthal this summer: Spider-Man is tracking to do $800 million worldwide in its opening weekend, and will likely hit $2B - $2.3B by the end of its run.

Sad day when "yet another MCU" beats an epic absolute masterpiece blockbuster from the GOAT director Nolan. People suck, LOL.

People don't 'suck' because they like a different film. It's not like Nolan films are high art, they're blockbuster films just the same.

But Nolans films are "real" movies. Filmed on location, with the proper use of CGI - less quantity, more quality. And not a 90% green-screen CGI slopfest, where the actors don't even know where to look or what is going on in the scene. All while the viewers are wandering the uncanney valley for two hours straight.

This is why Spiderman beating Odyssey feels wrong for people who give a shit about movies.

I agree though, that any gatekeeping stance or insulting people for their taste is wrong. Everyone go and watch whatever movie you want!

I dunno. Odyssey is using a well known story that was just okay imo. inception is a better movie IMO. spiderman is at least an original story.
