The movie "Odyssey" has claimed the top spot at the box office for six consecutive days.
According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing computer network on the 11th, "Odyssey" attracted 257,625 moviegoers nationwide on the 10th. Its cumulative audience has reached 2,132,446.
Released on the 5th, "Odyssey" surpassed 1 million viewers in four days and 2 million in six days. It pushed aside "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," which has surpassed 6 million cumulative moviegoers, and has continued its streak at No. 1 in the box office since its release.
"Odyssey" depicts the events that unfold as Odysseus (played by Matt Damon), a hero who led the Trojan War to victory over a decade, embarks on a journey to return to his waiting wife Penelope (played by Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (played by Tom Holland), who have been fending off threats amid his absence as king.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" maintained its second-place position with 174,615 viewers on the same day, bringing its cumulative audience to 6,091,016.
While the gap between the two films was around 30,000 viewers over the weekend, it has widened to 80,000 as they entered their second week of head-to-head competition. Although the box office dominance of these two films together is expected to continue for the time being, "Odyssey" has clearly taken the early lead.
