The film 'Odyssey' has maintained its position at the top of the weekend box office for three consecutive weeks, surpassing 7 million moviegoers.
According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing computer network on the 24th, 'Odyssey' drew 1,321,209 viewers nationwide from the 21st to the 23rd. Its cumulative audience count stands at 7,109,373.
With this, it has become the third film to cross the 7 million mark, following 'The Man Who Lived with the King' (16.91 million) and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' (8.12 million).
Entering its fourth week of release on the morning of the 24th, it is also recording an advance booking rate of 70% with 390,000 tickets reserved. At this pace, reaching the 10 million milestone is well within sight. Although it premiered a week later than 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', it has maintained remarkable momentum through its third week. Given this atmosphere, there is a strong possibility it could record a higher final box office count than 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'.
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' drew 386,756 viewers over the same period, defending its second-place spot at the box office. Its cumulative audience reached 8,127,617.
