Director Christopher Nolan's new film 'Odyssey' has surpassed 500,000 in advance ticket sales for its opening day (the 5th). A tight showdown is expected with 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', which surpassed 4 million moviegoers within 5 days of its release.
According to the Korean Film Council's box office ticketing aggregation on the 5th, 'Odyssey' ranks first in both categories with a 47.3% reservation rate and 542,000 advance tickets. It widened the gap further from the previous day compared to second-place 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' (33.4%, 383,000 tickets), raising expectations for a first-place debut at the box office on its opening day.
Ahead of its domestic release, the main stars of 'Odyssey'—Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron—visited Korea to carry out massive promotional activities. They completed a four-day schedule, which is relatively long for a Hollywood promotional tour, participating in various events including a press conference, broadcast and YouTube shoots, and a red carpet. It was also a move where people could feel the sincerity of Director Nolan, who repeatedly expressed his joy over achieving 10 million admissions in Korea with 'Interstellar'.
Attention is focused on whether 'Odyssey' will be able to claim the number one spot from the very first day of its release in the domestic theater district where 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' first gained momentum.
'Odyssey' is a blockbuster film that brings Homer's great epic 'The Odyssey' to the screen, depicting the events that unfold as Odysseus (Matt Damon), the hero who led the 10-year Trojan War to victory, sets out on a journey to return to his waiting wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) taking advantage of the king's absence.
