AI Summary

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" has achieved a notable milestone in the United Kingdom, surpassing the previous record held by "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" at the BFI IMAX theater in central London. The film's opening weekend gross of £219,867 ($300,000) has earned it the top spot as the highest three-day gross at the BFI IMAX, which is a single-screen theater with a unique 20-meter-tall screen. This achievement is significant due to the theater's limited capacity, making the gross even more impressive.
