“The whole Odyssey film in an embedded video on Twitter. Crazy,” wrote someone in a post on X
“Someone leaked The Odyssey movie in HD. I thought it was fake but it’s true,” said another user
The Hollywood Reporter said a lower-quality version appeared on X on Sunday, and was removed two hours later after amassing almost 50,000 views
In response, film studio Universal said: “We became aware of the unauthorised 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 leak is unlikely to do significant harm to the film’s box office performance – it earned $215m (£160m) around the world in its second weekend, taking its total to $640m (£480m)
