Christopher Nolan & Anne Hathaway collaborations at the box office
For the unversed, Anne Hathaway appeared in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar. Both films play significant roles in the director’s filmography and in Anne’s career. Anne reportedly credited Christopher Nolan for saving her career after she faced a backlash following the 2013 Oscar win. Nolan saved her career by offering her the role in Interstellar.
Both Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises are the top-grossing films in Anne’s career. The Dark Knight Rises collected $1.08 billion at the worldwide box office in its theatrical run. It is the all-time highest-grossing film in the careers of Christopher Nolan and Anne Hathaway. Their second film, Interstellar, is one of the most iconic sci-fi movies ever, which collected $774.7 million worldwide [via Box Office Mojo]. The total global cumulative for the movies is estimated at $1.86 billion.
How much is needed by The Odyssey to push Nolan and Hathaway’s cumulative total past the $2 billion milestone?
The cumulative total of The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar is $1.86 billion. Therefore, The Odyssey is just $139.9 million away from crossing the $2 billion milestone in Christopher Nolan and Anne Hathaway’s collaborative career. The Odyssey needs less than $150 million to push Anne and Nolan’s partnership past the $2 billion milestone. It is an easy target for the Nolan-helmed magnum opus. The film might even earn it on its opening weekend alone.
