The Odyssey opened in theaters worldwide on Friday, July 17, grossing $124.5 million domestically and $139.5 million internationally for a global total of $264 million, Forbes reported. Directed by Christopher Nolan from his own screenplay, the film adapts Homer's epic poem and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca on a 20-year journey home after the Trojan War.
Anne Hathaway plays Queen Penelope and Tom Holland plays Telemachus.
The cast also includes Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong'o. The movie received the highest critics' score and the highest audience score of any Christopher Nolan film on Rotten Tomatoes. Funko is producing a 5-inch Pop!
Vinyl figure of Damon's Odysseus character wearing Greek army gear, a greying beard and wielding a sword. The figure stands an inch taller than most Pops! because of the plume on its helmet and is available for pre-order at $14.99.
It is expected to reach stores and online retailers in December.
