The highly anticipated film "Eternal Horizons" has shattered box office records, grossing over $450 million globally in its opening weekend. This marks the biggest opening for any film released in the past three years.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, the sci-fi epic cost an estimated $200 million to produce and features an ensemble cast including Jennifer Lawrence, Idris Elba, and Daniel Kaluuya.
"We're absolutely thrilled with the response," said Warner Bros. studio executive Sarah Chen. "Audiences are clearly eager to experience big, bold storytelling on the big screen."
The film's success comes at a crucial time for the theater industry, which has been struggling to recover from the pandemic and competing with streaming services. Theater owners are reporting sold-out showings and extended runs to accommodate demand.
Critics have largely praised the film, with The New York Times calling it "a visually stunning masterpiece that redefines the boundaries of cinema." The film currently holds a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Eternal Horizons" tells the story of interstellar explorers who discover a planet that exists in multiple timelines simultaneously. Its groundbreaking visual effects and complex narrative have generated significant buzz on social media.
The film's success has already prompted discussions about a potential sequel, though Nolan has remained characteristically tight-lipped about future plans.
