The new film from director Christopher Nolan made more than a quarter of a billion dollars in its first weekend, topping Oppenheimer's debut. The adaptation of Homer's epic poem stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland, and it cost around $250m to make. It's Nolan's biggest opening outside his Batman films, with the UK and Ireland taking £12.9m.
