Director Christopher Nolan’s film “The Odyssey” was leaked online, with a high-quality version reportedly viewed by two million people on social media over the weekend. The film, shot on 70mm film for Imax screens, was shared in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, before the account was suspended. A lower-quality version also appeared briefly before being removed. Universal Studios responded by initiating takedown protocols and emphasized their commitment to protecting their intellectual property. Despite the leak, the film’s box office performance remains strong, earning $215 million globally in its second weekend, bringing its total to $640 million.
