Odysseus has stolen Luke Skywalker’s crown.

Christopher Nolan’s big-screen epic “The Odyssey” has beaten “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” to take first place as the highest-ever three-day gross at the BFI Imax theater in central London, clocking in at £219,867 ($300,000).

The BFI Imax holds only one screen, which at 20 metres (65 feet) tall and 26 metres (85 feet) wide is the largest in the U.K. It has a 493-seat capacity and is one of only three Imax cinemas in the U.K. with the capability of showing the film in Imax 70mm, as Nolan intended.
