On December 25, 2025, the first trailer for the new film “Odyssey”, directed by legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan, caused a massive stir on social media. Within 24 hours, the video was viewed more than 121 million times. This was reported by Forbes, citing data from WaveMetrix.
This result is nearly double the first-day viewership figures of Nolan’s previous blockbuster, “Oppenheimer.” Thus, “Odyssey” became the most popular trailer of 2025 for Universal Pictures studio. In short, the internet once again felt the “Nolan effect.”
The largest share of viewership came from the TikTok platform, accounting for 27 percent. It was followed by YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X. This indicates that the film’s appeal extends beyond just movie enthusiasts.
The plot of the film is based on the famous epic “The Odyssey” by the ancient Greek poet Homer. The movie depicts the long and perilous journey of the hero Odysseus as he attempts to return home after the Trojan War. The lead role is portrayed by Matt Damon.
Additionally, the film’s cast is noteworthy. The project features stars such as Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. Such a lineup is already a formula for success.
It has been reported that the film’s budget is estimated to be around 250 million US dollars. Although the official premiere of the movie is scheduled for July 17, 2026, tickets were put on sale a year before the release. This reflects the studio’s significant confidence in the film.
In summary, “Odyssey” has already started making history before its release. If the trailer caused such a sensation, one can only imagine the impact of the film itself.
