The film's weekend performance remained strong. The integrated ticketing system reported that 'Odyssey' attracted approximately 1.69 million viewers from August 14 to 16, surpassing its opening weekend figure of 1.33 million. It has held the top spot at the weekend box office for two consecutive weeks.

The film also maintains a leading reservation rate. As of 10:25 a.m. on August 17, 'Odyssey' recorded the highest reservation rate for 15 consecutive days, indicating strong potential for continued success.

Audience reactions further support its box office success. Positive reviews regarding the direction, music, sound, and performances by the cast have been noted on online ticketing sites and portals. The film is being recognized as suitable for family audiences, contributing to positive word-of-mouth.

Having surpassed 5 million viewers in just 13 days, 'Odyssey' is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
