[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] The movie “The Odyssey” has surpassed “Interstellar”—director Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film in South Korea—and made history. On its 38th day in theaters, “The Odyssey” surpassed 10.39 million cumulative viewers and has even overtaken “Frozen,” continuing its strong box office run as a foreign film.

According to the Integrated Computerized Network for Movie Tickets, as of 9:34 a.m. on the 11th—the 38th day since its release—the film “The Odyssey” recorded a cumulative audience of 10,390,521.
With this, “The Odyssey” has surpassed “Interstellar” (10,387,691 viewers)—director Christopher Nolan’s previous highest-grossing film in South Korea—to set a new record as the highest-grossing film among Nolan’s South Korean releases. Furthermore, by surpassing “Frozen” (10,329,222 viewers), it has climbed to 8th place on the all-time list of highest-grossing foreign films in South Korea, proving its immense popularity.
Previously, on the 6th, *The Martian* surpassed 10 million viewers just 33 days after its release, setting the record for the fastest-selling foreign film (excluding film series) to reach that milestone. Fueled by the audience’s unwavering support even after crossing the 10-million mark, *The Martian* has maintained steady box office momentum and added yet another record in just five days.
Currently, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (10,504,487 viewers) and *Avatar: The Way of Water* (10,824,614 viewers) remain as the next targets. With *The Odyssey* having not only surpassed 10 million viewers but also broken director Christopher Nolan’s record for the highest-grossing film in South Korea, all eyes are now on how high it can climb in the all-time foreign film box office rankings.
“The Odyssey” is a film depicting the journey of Odysseus (played by Matt Damon), the hero who led the 10-year Trojan War to victory, as he strives to return to his wife Penelope (played by Anne Hathaway) and his son Telemachus (played by Tom Holland). The film stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya Coleman, and Charlize Theron.
