Christopher Nolan's film 'Odyssey' has surpassed 10 million viewers in South Korea. It is the second film this year to reach this milestone, following Jang Hang-jun's 'The King and the Man,' and the first foreign film to do so in 2026.
According to Universal Pictures, the film crossed the 10 million mark on September 6. It had recorded approximately 9.76 million viewers the previous day, but saw a surge in attendance over the weekend, reaching the milestone in just one day.
With this achievement, 'Odyssey' has surpassed the final box office scores of the highest-grossing foreign films in the past three years, placing it at the top of the all-time foreign box office rankings. Notably, Christopher Nolan, who previously attracted 10 million viewers with 'Interstellar,' now has two films that have reached this milestone in South Korea.
'Odyssey' tells the story of Odysseus, the hero who led the Greeks to victory in the Trojan War, as he battles the wrath of the gods on his journey home. The film is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
