While Christopher Nolan 's The Odyssey dominates the global box office, another movie has achieved a remarkable feat on streaming. Both films are targeted at older audiences and are headlined by iconic American stars — Tom Hanks and Matt Damon — who worked together on a modern classic several years ago. The Odyssey grossed more than $250 million globally in its first weekend of release, while Hanks' Apple TV title passed a major milestone during the same window. The movie in question was originally supposed to be released in theaters, but was offloaded to Apple TV for a reported $70 million. The gamble paid off, with the film having cemented itself as a fixture on the streamer's viewership charts for over half a decade.
