Believe it or not. “The Odyssey” is finally losing a little steam at the box office.

Of course, it’s made $1.3 billion worldwide, about half of that in the US.

And it’s playing like gangbusters.

But Universal has set the date for streaming to begin, and DVDs and Blu-Rays to hit the stores. It’s November 17th.

By then, “The Odyssey” should be well past $700 million in the US — and well on its way to a dozen or more Oscar nominations and eventual win.

Chris Nolan’s epic is still playing in 3,200 theaters, so don’t worry. See it in IMAX or at least on a big screen. I can’t imagine anyone watching it on their phones. God forbid!
