Odyssey Claims Weekend Box Office Crown for 4th Straight Week, Nearing 10 Million Mark

The film The Odyssey has secured the top spot at the weekend box office for four consecutive weeks, bringing it within striking distance of the 9 million viewer milestone.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing network on August 31, The Odyssey drew 1,058,648 moviegoers nationwide from August 28 to 30. Its cumulative audience stands at 8,864,951. With this, the film has surpassed the final box office numbers of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened a week earlier, recording the highest box office performance among foreign films released this year.

Drawing over 1 million viewers even in its fourth weekend of release, the film has flashed a green light for surpassing the 10 million viewer mark. It is expected to cross 9 million viewers mid-week, with a potential breakthrough to 10 million as early as the weekend.

Taking second place at the box office was Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which attracted 250,447 people over the same period, bringing its cumulative audience to 8,548,405.

Third place went to the Korean film The Journey to Gyeongju, which mobilized 124,963 viewers. Its cumulative audience reached 192,384, showing a somewhat sluggish performance as it was overshadowed by the box office momentum of the two foreign films.
