In brief

A high‑quality copy of Christopher Nolan’s latest epic "The Odyssey" briefly surfaced on X, compiling more than 2 million views in just a few hours. The film, made on 70mm for IMAX, had been posted by an account that was swiftly suspended after the leak. Universal Studios responded by enforcing takedown protocols and warning against copyright infringement. Despite the controversy, the movie’s box‑office return is healthy, topping $640 million worldwide.

In the past weekend a full, high‑definition copy of the three‑hour film"The Odyssey" found its way onto the X platform, drawing a staggering 2.1 million views in just a half‑day.

Sources say the post was embedded in a tweet from an account that was immediately suspended once the leak surfaced. Lower‑quality versions soon appeared, but were removed after a modest 50,000 views.

Studio Universal confirmed the unauthorized posting and said it was acting under its takedown protocols, warning that copyright infringement would be pursued.
