Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey will be available on video-on-demand and Blu-ray on Nov. 17, four months after its U.S. theatrical debut.

The Blu-ray will feature a making-of documentary, and no streaming date has been announced yet.
The Odyssey reaches digital purchase/rental and disc on Nov. 17, four months after its U.S. theatrical debut. Standard 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD editions are available, while the Steelbook and $300 three-disc collector's set have sold out. The Blu-ray adds a making-of documentary. No streaming date exists; Universal's release may eventually reach Peacock.
Based on Homer's ancient poem, the film follows Matt Damon's Odysseus returning to Ithaca after the Trojan War, with a time-shifting structure. Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong'o co-star. It grossed over $1.7 billion worldwide against a $250 million budget, boosted by IMAX. A paperback screenplay is also sold.
The home release may benefit physical-media collectors and Nolan fans who prefer owning extras, while sold-out limited editions could fuel resale demand. General audiences without discs could wait for streaming, possibly on Peacock, affecting how long theatrical momentum lasts. The release could also reinforce interest in premium formats and screenplays, though its broader cultural footprint likely remains tied to the film's theatrical run.
