The film 'Odyssey' continues its remarkable box office run, surpassing 10 million viewers and setting a new record for the longest consecutive weeks at No. 1 for a foreign film released in South Korea since 2010.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing system, 'Odyssey' attracted 449,039 viewers over the weekend from September 11 to 13, maintaining its position at the top of the weekend box office. This marks the film's sixth consecutive week at No. 1.

Notably, 'Odyssey' has achieved a long-term box office record, remaining at the top for 40 consecutive days since its release on August 5, without ever dropping from the No. 1 spot. This surpasses the previous records of 35 days held by 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and 'Suzume's Door Lock,' making it the longest-running No. 1 foreign film in South Korea since 2010.

As it enters its seventh week, 'Odyssey' continues to lead in advance ticket sales, fueled by strong word-of-mouth and a trend of repeat viewings, known as 'N-time viewings.' The film shows no signs of slowing down in its box office success.

Since crossing the 10 million viewer mark, 'Odyssey' has been consistently breaking new records, and it remains to be seen what further milestones it will achieve. The film is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
