Before Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/a> actually hit theaters, eager fans showed a near-obsessive desire to watch it in the biggest and best format possible. The luckiest movie junkies lived in cities where 70mm IMAX screenings<\/a> happened\u2014and where the stars aligned so that they were actually able to get tickets<\/a>. But the playing field is about to level for The Odyssey, with a home release date now set for November 17.<\/p>\n

That date, as Variety<\/a> reports, will mark The Odyssey\u2018s arrival on digital for rent or purchase, as well as its debut on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray\u2014a bit of a switch from the usual procedure of hitting digital first, then physical a few weeks or months later. Another unusual note is that The Odyssey opened back in mid-July, meaning it will have spent a longer-than-average time in theaters before getting a home release.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not surprising, given the format hype and the fact that the movie has been a critical and commercial smash<\/a>; it\u2019s already occupying one of the coveted spots in 2026\u2019s billion-dollar movie club<\/a>. So far there\u2019s no word on what special features might be included in the digital or physical release, but given Nolan\u2019s legendary attention to detail, there\u2019ll surely be some worth checking out.<\/p>\n

And just because The Odyssey has its home release marked in the calendar doesn\u2019t necessarily mean your days of seeing it on the big screen are numbered. Even after it wraps up its initial run, it seems likely to reappear once Oscar voting kicks off\u2014not to mention making reappearances at theaters<\/a> from time to time, as Nolan movies tend to do<\/a>.<\/p>\n
