The movie 'The Odyssey' surpassed 8.47 million cumulative viewers yesterday morning (the 30th).

Surpassing 'Spider-Man: Brand New DEY', which recorded 8.45 million viewers, it has claimed the title of the highest-grossing foreign film released this year.

Attention is also focused on whether it can cross the 10-million-viewer milestone. If it surpasses 10 million, it will become the second 10-million-viewer film of the year, following 'The King's Warden'.

Driven by the box office momentum of 'The Odyssey', the 22-year-old film 'Troy', which depicts the Trojan War, is also surging in popularity.

As of the 26th, the number of IPTV purchases for 'Troy' exceeded 23,000, representing a 40-fold increase compared to last month.

This spike in interest appears to be sparked by its connection to 'The Odyssey', which tells the story following the Trojan War.
