Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey continues to extend its box-office record in South Korea. As of the morning of August 30, 2026, cumulative attendance stood at 8,471,082, placing it first among foreign films released domestically in 2026 by cumulative attendance. This surpassed Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Cumulative Attendance Reached 8,471,082 as of August 30
The Odyssey surpassed 8 million cumulative viewers 24 days after its South Korean release on August 5, 2026. By the morning of August 30, cumulative attendance had reached 8,471,082.
Earlier, on August 14, the film recorded 3,047,856 cumulative viewers on its 10th day after release. As of August 24, cumulative attendance was 7,295,949. Since figures may vary depending on the reference time and period, the date should always be checked alongside the total.
The “7.46 million viewers” figure included in the monitoring terms does not match the latest cumulative attendance as of August 30.
No. 1 at the Daily Box Office Even in Its Fourth Week
According to reports dated August 30, The Odyssey ranked No. 1 at South Korea’s daily box office for 25 consecutive days from its release. It also remained No. 1 in the overall domestic presales rate for 28 consecutive days, from two days before its release through August 30.
However, the daily box-office ranking and weekend or weekly box-office rankings use different calculation standards. Based on the confirmed information, these records should be distinguished as separate daily box-office and overall presales-rate records.
