The Odyssey Passes Deadpool & Wolverine As Highest-Grossing R-Rated Movie Eve
Hi, everyone! I’m so excited to share some big movie news with you today. It looks like Ryan Reynolds might have to give up his top spot. The blockbuster “The Odyssey”, directed by Christopher Nolan, has officially surpassed “Deadpool & Wolverine” and is now the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. It has grossed over $1.338 billion! Ryan Reynolds seems to be taking it in stride and has even paid tribute to the new record-holder.
More movie news you should know about
There’s so much going on in Hollywood right now. First of all, the screenwriter of “Star Wars: Starfighter”, Jonathan Tropper, is talking about the new project with Ryan Gosling. He says it’s a much simpler movie compared to the epic Skywalker saga. That sounds exactly like what we saw in the teaser at D23.
Also, don’t worry about David Krumholtz. Some people thought, after a post on Threads, that he was giving up acting, but he clarified that pretty quickly. He said he’s doing fine and isn’t going anywhere. Stars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Rachel Zegler even reached out to him to show their support.
Big Numbers and Big Changes
Marvel fans are clearly ready for Avengers: Doomsday. Although the film won’t hit theaters for another four months, it has already grossed over $35 million in advance ticket sales. That’s an incredible record for this early stage. Speaking of Marvel: There’s news about Avengers: Secret Wars. Filming at Pinewood Studios has just begun, and already the entire crew has been sent home for five weeks. That’s a long break!
Also, filming for the new X-Men movie might start sooner than many people think. Shooting is reportedly set to begin as early as the end of summer, which is pretty crazy. On the other hand, the new Planet of the Apes movie might be running into trouble. A report from a British crew suggests that it might not be produced as originally planned.
