Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is still chugging along in theaters, and somehow it’s also turning into the biggest R-rated grossing film ever. Even five weeks in, it keeps pulling people in, especially when they’re heading to IMAX screens.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey OTT
Variety reports that The Odyssey will show up for digital rental and purchase on November 17. On that same date, it’ll also land on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Fans are looking at almost two more months before they can watch Nolan’s newest grand story from home, with all that couch comfort.
This digital arrival is coming about four months after the movie first hit theaters, and that window feels way longer than what a lot of major Hollywood titles usually do. Also, the film keeps doing well on IMAX, and that strong box office momentum is basically why the makers keep it in theaters for longer than expected.
Christopher Nolan and Universal also used a similar approach with Oppenheimer before. That Oscar-winning film stayed in theaters for 123 days, before it finally made its digital debut.
And since The Odyssey is enjoying the same kind of strong run, that extended delay for the at-home release seems like another planned move from Nolan and Universal, more deliberate than random.
