Weekend Box Office: THE ODYSSEY Explodes With $123.5 Million Debut

As expected, Christopher Nolan's fantasy epic "The Odyssey" was a massive hit, breaking a series of records as it overwhelmingly dominated the weekend box office. It certainly helped that there were no new releases, since no studio dared go against Nolan, and last week's newly released Disney live-action remake "Moana" continues to sink even lower.

Weekend Box Office: MOANA Live-Action Remake Tanks With $43.1 Million Debut

Disney's latest live-action remake "Moana" stumbled in its opening weekend but still came out on top. The R-rated horror film "Evil Dead Burn" also opened over the weekend, but failed to impress. Meanwhile, two indie comedies expanded nationwide with mixed results: Olivia Wilde's indie comedy "The Invite" fared okay, but the comedy "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass" starring Zoey Deutch failed to make the Top 10.

Amy Adams, Paul Rudd & Tessa Thompson to Star in Comedy THE INVITE

Amy Adams, Paul Rudd and Tessa Thompson have joined the cast of the upcoming comedy "The Invite", based on the Goya-winning 2020 Spanish film "Sentimental". The remake will be directed by "Little Miss Sunshine" helmers Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris from a script by Rashida Jones & Will McCormack, who also co-wrote the indie romantic dramedy "Celeste & Jesse Forever".

The film tells the story of Joe (Rudd) and Angela (Adams), who after 15 years of marriage, find that their relationship is in a rut. Desperate to have a conversation that isn't focused on their marital woes, Angela invites their boisterous neighbors, Kayla (Thompson) and Shane, over for cocktails. Joe, irritated at having to engage with this disruptive couple, plans to use the occasion to confront them; however, both he and Angela get far more than they bargained for as sparks fly and they discover Shane and Kayla are hosting weekly orgies and have an invite of their own to offer.

Producers include Academy Award nominee David Permut ("Hacksaw Ridge") for Permut Presentations and FilmNation Entertainment. FilmNation Entertainment is launching international sales at Cannes, and co-repping U.S. sales with UTA Independent Film Group.
