Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution at Universal Pictures, said: “Christopher Nolan has earned audiences’ trust by consistently delivering must-see theatrical events, and The Odyssey is him operating at the peak of his powers.

“Nolan’s epic film has been at the forefront of culture, with audiences seeking out premium formats and repeat viewings for this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic journey.”

Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, president of distribution at Universal Pictures International, hailed the film as “a global epic that has resonated with audiences everywhere with its massive scope and uncompromising vision”.

The Odyssey had a reported production budget of US$250m (£185m, A$353m) excluding marketing costs, making it one of the most expensive films of Nolan’s career.

Helen of Treyvon doesn't concern me.
There's a few fringe people that care about movies these days.
Probably would've made more money if Helen of Troy was a built4BBC white girl though, since even the knee grows enjoy white pussy.

Honestly, the jet black knee grass thing is played out.
Halie Berry would've been an OK pick as olive skin isn't as jarring in a "fucking shit" sort of way as a coal'd out turbo black girl.
Overall, my level of fucks is like 0.3, and the only reason I would posit an objection is because it's simply slightly poor story telling that takes people out of the moment IMHO.

Does it? It seems like they lost the people who didn't enjoy Helen of Treyvon at least.
I remember when blockbuster movies were 100% about appealing to the masses.
That being the case, the cast should've consisted mostly of short, fat latin folk.
And that still would've been a better fit, since there's euro DNA in those people.

But this movie clearly isn't made for racists, and it did pretty good.
Why pander to racists like conservatives and alienate actual Americans?

>>1529005
Half the country doesn't fucking CARE. Anyway, in my experience the Odyssey is conceptually a little too high-brow for the average culture warrior anyway.

>>1529028
Clearly more than half the country cares if a movie can rake in a billion dollars.
Also keep in mind this is an r rated movie too.

When Disney destroys wrong opinions in this way, rightards have lost the so-called 'Culture War'. The Odyssey further proves this, so how can inferior subhuman rightards justify their retarded racist thinking? If they can think, that is

>>1529034
This post proves turbofaggots exist and are retarded.

A movie making money does not mean it's good, it means it makes money, if disney has taught us anything over the past decade, it's that. Fuck the conservative right, they're a bunch of closeted faggots who ironically only care about identity politics now, something they've been bitching at the left about for years.

Also fuck Hollywood, who are also often openly and proudly racist in the opposite direction. This movie is pandering slop. You're all fucking morons.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take the innocuous left wing morons who basically just want everyone to have equal rights under the law and are easily manipulated into consuming dogshit media, to the openly racist, fascist, closeted pedophile billionaire cock holsters literally any day of the week. This isn't a 'both sides bad' argument, but you are both insufferable fucking morons, even if it's to a much less destructive degree on the left.

>This post proves turbofaggots exist and are retarded

She's a mythological woman who hatched from an egg so obviously she's not gonna be black is she?

Newfags think they're smart when they say she's a myth so that means they're technically not wrong, but you wouldn't accept her as a pizza or a carrot would you? There's structure in these stories despite them being myths.

A movie that would be considered as 'Woke' as it is possible to be today, is acknowledged as one of those rare examples of a sequel that is better than the original.

Satire. It goes over the heads of a certain audience. They'll never know.

Something that is an actual NPC robot can't think.
Next it'll consider as 'left-wing' the corporation that turned what was left of a woman - her brain - put into a military-spec body played by Scarlett Johansson in a live-action adaptation of a manga by Masamune Shirow a mere 'robot'.
Certain AIs would regard RoboCop as an anti-Republican satire, with no mention of the Democrats whatsoever. Especially considering the director's early life.

If they want to get a black lady to do this can they get a attractive black lady or African one? Hollywood always does this shit. You could see more attractive people working Target check out half the time then who they choose is attractive.

>>1528959
Yes it turns out all you need is: to fix the awards shows so that you can only win Oscars if you have non white people in leading roles, bribe the most famous director in Hollywood with 20% of gross to make a retarded woke version of the story and sell it as an artistic work, flood the cast with legendary A listers from all generations, and shill the ever living fuck out of the film as some cultural moment, smuggling your advertising spend with "organic" viral marketing. Doing all this, you might make enough money to break even after theaters take their cut. Do all that, and forget about the ten times more cases where films absolutely flopped because they were woke garbage, and you might be able to cope.

>>1529376
Someone’s a salty little bitch. The movie is great. All your culture war bullshit means nothing except to extremists like you who are in the minority. So die mad about it.

You love to see it.

>>1529377
Says the loser who posted this thread.
Riding the coat tails of Nolan does not mean woke cinema is suddenly the new meta. Far from it, this is the exception that proves the rule. Nolan isn't making a film for another 3 years now, so expect a return to baseline flops. And the funny thing is, if Nolan wasn't bribed to introduce race swaps the box office would probably be twice this. Acting like a movie that did well despite its casting is a victory is the height of cope.

>>1529332
>They'll never know.
Apparently they won't. And unfortunately, that audience is (You).

>woke cinema is suddenly the new meta

>>1529332

Of course they - subhuman rightards - won't. No "apparently" about it. And fortunately those subhuman rightards are the likes of (You), 1529381.

>does not mean woke cinema is the new meta.
If you care about something being woke one way or the other, you are a fucking moron.
It genuinely doesn't matter what race a character is in 95% of stories. Maybe shit like to kill a mockingbird, less so the fictional odyssey, and not at all in something totally made up like A Song Of Fire and Ice and all of it's unwatchable spinoffs. (Not bad because woke, bad because corporate soulless cash grab)
The most common (nonracist) criticism of woke movies is that, it shouldn't be about the race of the character, but their character. That's a two way street, if you can't tolerate a black person on the screen and you need everyone you see to look like you, then you're exactly as much of a whiney little faggot as the woke people you're whining about like a little faggot.
>>1529390 #
NTA, obviously. Am left wing. You sound like you're ESL. That's neither here nor there, but your sentence structure is just really shitty and unnatural.
>never met a woke movie I didn't like.
Disney raped the legacy of star wars. When people gave them extremely valid criticisms, they wrote off all of the critics as sexist and racist and used that as cover to deliver one of the most disappointing and widely reviled projects in film history. That's a woke movie trilogy. If you like it you're fucking braindead.

Fuck both of you. Fuck the racist righty. Fuck the racist lefty. Fuck people who keep making movies that pander to fucking simpletons based on their racism.

Not being hypocritical, don't think you understand what that word means, study harder.

This is why you lost the last election you stupid fucking faggot, because you alienate people who fail your ideological purity test, and it takes someone intelligent enough to understand it's better to vote with a bunch of annoying lefty faggots than a bunch of right wing retards that are actively, vindictively trying to use the law that hurt people they don't like and make things worse for us all.

Fuck you you stupid dipshit sheep faggot, you aren't the left, I am, and I'm taking it back from your stupid faggot ass.

Wow, the projecting 1529396 is even more defensive.
I'm left wing.
I'm not bothered about a black person playing a character in a certain film that made over $1 billion. Good for them.
>lying
1529396 is even more defensive because Democrats have been winning elections since late 2025. A left-wing person is glad that this makes anyone not left-wing seethe. Thus those who are right-wing are the defensive ones, and are reduced to projection.
>Fuck you you stupid dipshit sheep faggot
>>1529377
1529396 is becoming saltier the longer they continue to exist in /news/. It's not just Trump being politically castrated in the midterms that'll give 1529396 a heart attack.

Hollywood cant make good movies out of Greek myths. They cant make good movies. Morons emptying their pockets to go watch an overpriced movie theyll be on their phones half the time for doesn't mean shit to me.
Fuck The Odyssey, Fuck Troy, Fuck Clash Of the Titans, Fuck Hollywood. Stick to remaking Disney movies and covering up for pedos and leave Greek Mythology alone.

Hollywood can make good movies out of Greek myths. They can make good movies. People who don't give a shit about retards with wrong opinions paying to watch a movie they'll enjoy, more so when terminally online rightard morons seethe at the existence of successful movies they don't like.
Bravo The Odyssey, Troy, and Clash of the Titans. May Hollywood continue making movies that projecting rightard pedo protectors impotently seethe at, and make more movie adaptations of Greek mythology.

>>1529362
In this case I would say the black Helen of Troy and Elliott Pages transgender character were the two woke characters who appeared for 10 minutes of the runtime

>>1529407
Why are they woke?

>>1529445
Homer describes Helen of Troy as white-armed
>>1528959
This woman is not white-armed
Elliott Page plays a transgender male.
Homer doesn't include any women dressed as men in the Odyssey

>>1529447
Homer didn't write the Odyssey
Elliot Page is a man
Cope harder

>>1529447
>Homer doesn't include any women dressed as men in the Odyssey
See the funniest part about this is all women were banned from participating in Greek plays, so literally every female role was played by a man/boy crossdressing

>>1529454
Were they transvestites or transgender?

>>1529457
>Today on anon is so culture war brainrotted he doesn't know what a crossdresser is

>>1529453
>Elliot Page is a man
Fact check:False. The birth certificate debunks this. The birth certificate lists her name as Ellen Page and Gender as female

>>1529460
Who's Ellen Page? We're talking about Elliot Page.

>>1529461
I don't think they have Ellen Pages birth certificate either, so they can't even back up their factually incorrect cope

>>1528959
oh this movie is still in theaters? i never heard anyone talking about actually going to see it. I wonder who all those moviegoers were for it to make a billy with no organic or positive buzz around it at all.

>>1529461
Does Elliott Page have a birth certificate? When were they born? Because the birth certificate says Ellen Page

>>1528959
they still haven't made a better version of The Odyssey than the 1997 TV mini-series, and at this point I doubt they ever will.

>>1529468
>Because the birth certificate says Ellen Page
