\n\tChristopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey<\/a>\u201d is finally setting sail for home theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe blockbuster adaptation of Homer\u2019s epic poem will be available to rent and purchase on digital <\/a>beginning Nov. 17, following its theatrical debut on July 17. The film is also slated to arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray <\/a>the same day.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe digital release comes four months after Nolan\u2019s nearly three-hour epic opened exclusively in theaters, marking a substantially longer theatrical window than most major studio releases. Nolan and Universal took a similar approach with \u201cOppenheimer,\u201d which spent 123 days in theaters before arriving on premium video-on-demand and physical media in November 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film has earned roughly $1.35 billion worldwide<\/a>, making it Nolan\u2019s highest-grossing movie and, as of this week, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, surpassing \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine.\u201d It has also grossed more than $500 million domestically. Imax has contributed a massive $257 million in ticket sales, and \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d now ranks as the company\u2019s highest-grossing release of all time.<\/p>\n

\n\tMatt Damon stars as Odysseus, the Greek king attempting to make his perilous journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The sprawling ensemble also includes Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn his review of the film<\/a>, Variety\u2019s Guy Lodge wrote that \u201cThere\u2019s nary a dull moment in the director\u2019s typically muscular, temporally complex interpretation.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut despite a fine, bone-weary turn from Damon as the wandering king of Ithaca,\u201d he continued, \u201cit\u2019s more sensually than emotionally felt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Variety may receive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,22546,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-745805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-the-odyssey","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
