Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which was released on July 17, has received widespread praise from audiences as well as critics. Said to be one of the biggest films in recent times, the IMAX-shot epic has been hit by online piracy just over a week after arriving in cinemas, prompting Universal Pictures to take action.
According to reports, both high- and low-quality versions of the film leaked online over the weekend. One high-resolution upload reportedly spread quickly on social media before the account was suspended. The post had received millions of views before it was removed.
A separate lower-quality version also appeared briefly on the platform, which was taken down later.
Universal Pictures takes action
Reacting to the leak, Universal Pictures shared a statement to Deadline. "We became aware of the unauthorized posting of the film and immediately initiated takedown protocols. We take copyright infringement seriously and will pursue all appropriate remedies to protect our content and intellectual property rights," the statement read.
