Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" will arrive on digital platforms and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on 17 November, four months after its 17 July theatrical debut. The extended cinema-only window mirrors the strategy Nolan and Universal used for "Oppenheimer," which ran 123 days in theatres before hitting premium video-on-demand and physical media in November 2023. The move reflects the film's blockbuster box-office performance and Nolan's continued preference for a lengthy exclusive theatrical run before home releases.

The Homer adaptation has grossed roughly $1.35 billion worldwide, making it Nolan's highest-earning film and the highest-grossing R-rated film ever, overtaking "Deadpool & Wolverine." It has taken more than $500 million domestically, while Imax alone contributed $257 million, making it Imax's biggest release of all time. The star-studded cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron, with Variety's review praising its visual force while noting it is "more sensually than emotionally felt."
