A high-quality pirated copy of Christopher Nolan‘s latest film, “The Odyssey”, remained available on Elon Musk’s social media platform X long enough to attract millions of views before it was removed, according to media reports.

The issue gained widespread attention over the weekend after an X user shared a post claiming that the full, nearly three-hour film had been uploaded to the platform. The post drew more than 3 million views before the account hosting the content was suspended.

It was not immediately clear how the unauthorized copy of the film was obtained or uploaded.

Universal Pictures said it had acted quickly after becoming aware of the alleged copyright infringement.

“We became aware of the unauthorized upload of the film and immediately activated our content removal procedures,” the studio said in a statement. “We take violations of our intellectual property rights very seriously and will pursue all available legal means to protect our content and our rights.”

Despite the apparent leak, the film’s commercial performance has shown little sign of slowing. Since its release earlier this month, The Odyssey has emerged as one of the summer’s biggest box-office successes, with worldwide ticket sales exceeding $640 million.

During its second weekend in U.S. theaters, the film generated $87 million, representing a roughly 30% decline from its opening weekend, a performance widely viewed by industry analysts as a strong hold for a major release.

The incident also fueled online speculation because of Musk’s previous criticism of the film’s casting choices. Musk has publicly questioned the decision to cast actress Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, comments that became part of a broader debate over diversity in film casting.

There is no evidence that Musk or X were involved in the creation or distribution of the pirated copy beyond the platform hosting the content before it was removed.
