'Odyssey' Surpasses 3 Million Moviegoers in 10 Days... Sets New Record with 1 Million Advance Tickets

Director Christopher Nolan's film 'Odyssey' has surpassed 3 million cumulative moviegoers just 10 days after its release.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated box office ticket computer network, 'Odyssey' recorded a cumulative audience of 3,047,856 as of 6:46 a.m. today (August 14), crossing the 3 million mark on its 10th day in theaters.

After surpassing 1 million moviegoers on its 4th day of release on Saturday the 8th and 2 million on its 6th day on Monday the 10th, 'Odyssey' has maintained its steep box office momentum by adding another 1 million viewers in just 4 days.

This pace is faster than major domestic hit films released this year such as 'A Man Who Lives with the King' (surpassing 3 million on the 14th day) and 'Hope' (surpassing 3 million on the 11th day), as well as 'Zootopia 2', which ranked first in the overall box office for 2025 (surpassing 3 million on the 11th day of release).

Along with this, 'Odyssey' surpassed 1 million in advance ticket sales during its second week of release, setting a new record for this year's highest advance ticket sales. This figure surpasses 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', which recorded 930,000 advance tickets on its opening day.

Crossing the 1 million mark in the second week draws even more attention as it is a pattern previously seen in all-time blockbuster hits that exceeded 10 million viewers, such as 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. This record is all the more meaningful given that 'Odyssey' achieved it as it entered its second week of release. Unlike the typical trend where advance ticket sales decrease over time after release, 'Odyssey' is showing an exceptional box office trajectory with an explosive surge in advance ticket sales even in its second week.

In particular, with this week including the weekend as well as the Liberation Day substitute holiday, it is expected to easily surpass 5 million cumulative moviegoers.
