Since its release in theaters, The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, has become one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Homer’s ancient Greek epic has been transformed into a big-budget adaptation that has dazzled audiences with its vast scope, A-list cast, and Nolan’s trademark style of filmmaking. Now, fans will soon be able to take home the epic adventure, which has had more than a successful run on the big screens.

After its massive theatrical run, The Odyssey could soon be making its way into fans’ homes in a new format. 

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will be released simultaneously on disc and digital formats on November 17, according to a brief listing from a retailer that was posted online, The Direct reported. Barnes & Noble had a 4K UHD Steelbook edition listed for the same date, before the post was taken down. If the date sticks, the epic film will be available for home viewing 123 days after it hits theaters July 17, but the studio has not officially announced the release date. 

As reported by The Direct, the home release comes as The Odyssey entered cinematic history as the first full-length feature film shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, allowing moviegoers to see Christopher Nolan's epic in the giant 70mm IMAX format. The premium presentation provides a much more detailed picture and a taller 1.43:1 aspect ratio, allowing more of Nolan’s sweeping visuals to fill the screen. But the format is extremely rare, with only 41 IMAX locations worldwide that can project the film in 70mm. 

The Odyssey is already one of the big box-office hits of 2026, drawing large audiences and making Christopher Nolan’s ambitious movie a worldwide phenomenon. It has grossed around $1.35 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, beating Deadpool & Wolverine. Nolan’s track record of making big films, its incredible international box office run, its all-star cast, and amazing IMAX presentation have all helped to make the film a major theatrical event around the world.

With its huge success setting the stage, The Odyssey also brings together an impressive cast of Hollywood stars for Nolan’s epic retelling. 

The Odyssey follows the story of Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, and his attempts to return home after the Trojan War. His long and dangerous journey takes him through mythical creatures, powerful gods, and deadly enemies, while his wife Penelope and son Telemachus wait for his return. Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation has a stellar cast, including Matt Damon as Odysseus and Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal in key roles. 

As The Odyssey gets ready for its much-anticipated transition from theaters to home entertainment, the story behind the film is just beginning. Nolan's latest epic, already a hit with audiences for its massive box office success, is sure to have a lasting effect. The November 17 release could offer fans another chance to experience its grand visuals and mythic story at home, while also marking the next major chapter in the film’s remarkable run.
