He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.
The summer box-office is already heating up, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is still several days away from release. Easily the most-anticipated film of 2026, The Odyssey is also the most expensive project of Nolan's career, which has almost exclusively unfolded in the big-budget arena. Nolan is coming off his first-ever Best Picture and Best Director wins at the Oscars, taking him to a level that even he hadn't experienced before. Oppenheimer, the epic biographical thriller that won Nolan his Best Director Academy Award, grossed nearly $1 billion at the worldwide box office, and The Odyssey is expected to eclipse it. So steep has been his career trajectory that one of his older classics was able to gross around $100 million globally via its re-release alone.
The movie in question turned 10 a couple of years ago, and was re-issued in Nolan's preferred format, IMAX, in theaters worldwide to mark the occasion. The re-release took the movie's global haul from around $670 million in 2014, to more than $770 million in 2025, against a reported budget of around $165 million. During this 10th-anniversary re-release, the film was also able to pass the $200 million mark domestically. Ahead of The Odyssey's release in July, Nolan's 2014 classic — featuring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway — is being released on the Hulu streaming service domestically.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you.
You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way.
By now you've probably guessed that we're talking about Interstellar, the epic space adventure that saw Nolan revisiting some of his favorite themes and concepts. Nolan was coming off The Dark Knight Trilogy, and had already established himself as an A-list filmmaker who could pull audiences on the strength of his name. Interstellar now holds a "Certified Fresh" 73% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, "Interstellar represents more of the thrilling, thought-provoking, and visually resplendent filmmaking moviegoers have come to expect from writer-director Christopher Nolan, even if its intellectual reach somewhat exceeds its grasp." The movie famously featured Matt Damon in an extended cameo; Damon also played a supporting role in Oppenheimer, and will headline The Odyssey next. Interstellar will be made available to stream on Hulu on July 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
