[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The movie "The Odyssey" has surpassed 9.46 million cumulative viewers and is on the verge of reaching the 10-million-viewer milestone. It needs approximately 530,000 more viewers to reach 10 million. Advance ticket sales are also approaching 400,000, fueling the film’s late-run success.

According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated computer network on the 5th, “The Odyssey” drew 137,408 viewers on the 4th alone. As a result, the cumulative audience total has risen to 9,467,013. This leaves exactly 532,987 viewers needed to reach the 10-million mark. With approximately 530,000 more viewers, the film will join the ranks of 10-million-viewer films.
Having already far surpassed the 9-million mark, *Odyssey* is in the final stretch of its race toward the 10-million milestone. Interest is particularly focused on future attendance trends, given that the film is adding more than 100,000 viewers per day. Judging solely by the attendance figures recorded on the 4th, the 10-million mark appears to be drawing even closer.
“Odyssey”’s box office momentum continues to be reflected in advance ticket sales as well. As of 9:20 a.m. on the 5th, advance ticket sales for “Odyssey” totaled 395,501 tickets. With cumulative viewership already exceeding 9.46 million and advance sales reaching nearly 400,000 tickets, the likelihood of surpassing the 10-million mark is looking increasingly strong.
In the advance ticket sales rankings, “Odyssey” took the top spot. “Obsession” followed in second place, while “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” came in third. “Journey to Gyeongju” and “Bi-Gwang” ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. Amid fierce competition among various films for audiences, “The Odyssey” is maintaining its lead in advance ticket sales and making its presence felt.
Attention is now focused on when “Odyssey” will surpass the 10-million-viewer mark. Based on current cumulative attendance figures, it needs approximately 530,000 more viewers to reach 10 million. Given that advance ticket sales have already exceeded 390,000, the timing of this milestone will likely depend on how many of those bookings translate into actual attendance.
