The Odyssey Becomes Highest Grossing R Rated Film of All Time The recent box office numbers have confirmed that Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, has surpassed Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest grossing R rated film of all time.
With a worldwide total of $1. 35 billion, this achievement is striking given conventional wisdom that an R rating limits box office expectations.
Historically, R rated films have been associated with niche audiences and lower earnings potential compared to PG 13 counterparts.
