Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Sets 4K UHD and Digital Release Date for November

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has confirmed that Christopher Nolan’s epic fantasy The Odyssey will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and digital platforms on November 17, 2026. The announcement follows a historic theatrical run that saw the film amass $1.78 billion at the global box office, officially surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

The home release marks the final chapter of a dominant year for lead actor Tom Holland. In 2026, Holland anchored one of the year’s most significant cinematic events: his turn as Prince Telemachus in Nolan’s mythic epic. In The Odyssey, Holland stars alongside Matt Damon, who portrays the titular Odysseus, as part of an ensemble that includes Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron.

The 4K UHD release maintains the 1.78:1 IMAX aspect ratio for selected sequences.

Technical Specifications and IMAX Presentation

In keeping with Christopher Nolan’s preference for physical media and high-fidelity presentation, the 4K Ultra HD release is designed to replicate the theatrical experience as closely as possible. The film will be presented with a variable aspect ratio, utilizing a 1.78:1 frame for sequences filmed with IMAX cameras to provide more vertical picture on home screens.

The technical specifications for the 4K disc include:

Format: 100GB Triple-Layer Disc Visuals: 4K Resolution with HDR10 Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Aspect Ratio: 2.20:1 (Standard) and 1.78:1 (IMAX sequences)

Consistent with Nolan’s previous home releases, such as Oppenheimer and Dunkirk, the 4K master utilizes HDR10 rather than Dolby Vision, reflecting the director’s specific color-timing workflow.

Bonus Content and Collector’s Editions

The release includes over 90 minutes of behind-the-scenes content spread across 12 featurettes. These supplements, which Nolan personally oversaw, document the film’s complex production, including the practical effects used to recreate ancient Mediterranean vistas and the specialized rigging required for the film’s massive naval sequences.

For high-end collectors, Universal offered an “Ultimate Collector’s Edition.” This version, limited to 5,000 numbered copies, includes an authentic 70mm film cell cut from an actual IMAX print of the movie.

The North American rollout is locked for Tuesday, November 17. The film’s performance has already secured its place as Universal’s highest-grossing film of all time, outperforming the original Jurassic World (2015) and cementing Nolan’s shift to the studio as a massive financial success.
