The movie 'Odyssey' has surpassed 9 million viewers just 27 days after its release. According to the integrated computerized box office network of the Korean Film Council, as of 6:03 p.m. on August 31, the cumulative audience had reached 9,000,352.

'Odyssey' is the second foreign film to attract more than 9 million viewers in Korea since the pandemic. It achieved this milestone three days faster than 'Avatar: The Way of Water', the first to do so.

The accumulated number of viewers has exceeded the final records of the highest-grossing foreign films released in Korea over the past three years: 'Elemental' in 2023 (7.24 million), 'Inside Out 2' in 2024 (8.79 million), and 'Zootopia 2' in 2025 (8.61 million). It now ranks as the highest-grossing foreign film released in Korea in the last three years.

Even in its fifth week since release, the box office momentum remains strong. 'Odyssey' has maintained the number one spot on the weekend box office for four consecutive weeks and has held on to the top spot in advance ticket sales, despite a series of high-profile releases both domestically and internationally.

Attention is now focused on whether it will become another 10-million-viewer movie by director Christopher Nolan, following 'Interstellar'.
