LOS ANGELES — Universal Studios has issued a stern warning after an unauthorized copy of its hit film “The Odyssey” was leaked over the weekend.

The studio was responding to a post on X that shared a high-quality copy of the Christopher Nolan film. The post was viewed more than 2.1 million times before a takedown notice replaced the copy of the film.
The post was shared Saturday on X at 2:25 p.m. Pacific, and the account was suspended within three hours, according to Variety.
“The Odyssey” continues to be a top attraction for filmgoers, drawing huge crowds on its second weekend. Demand for advance tickets caused AMC’s app to crash in June. At the time, users on social media said wait times had reached an hour.
The film in its second weekend pulled in $87 million, according to Rentrak, a data analytics company that tracks box office sales.
