Since the pandemic, "Odyssey" is the second foreign film to exceed 9 million viewers in Korea. It achieved this milestone three days faster than "Avatar: The Way of Water," which was the first to reach it.

The cumulative audience figure has surpassed the final records of the top-grossing foreign films in Korea for the past three years, including "Elemental" (7.24 million in 2023), "Inside Out 2" (8.79 million in 2024), and "Zootopia 2" (8.61 million in 2025). As a result, "Odyssey" has become the highest-grossing foreign film released domestically over the past three years.

Even in its fifth week of release, "Odyssey" continues to show strong box office performance. It held the number one spot at the weekend box office for four consecutive weeks and has maintained the top spot for ticket reservations, despite the release of several major domestic and international films.

There is now growing interest in whether "Odyssey" will join "Interstellar" as another 10 million-viewer film from director Christopher Nolan.
