Korea Box Office: ‘The Odyssey’ Secures Sixth Weekend Crown as ‘Obsession’ Ascends

Variety · 2 hours ago

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" retained the top spot at the South Korean box office for a sixth consecutive weekend, though the overall market softened compared with the previous week. The film's continued dominance underlines its strength as the year's leading blockbuster in the territory, while newcomer "Obsession" rose to second place, suggesting a modest reshuffling further down the chart even as "The Odyssey" remains far ahead of its rivals.

Over the 11–13 September weekend, "The Odyssey" earned $3.9 million from 449,474 admissions across 1,648 screens, taking 51.4% of the market and lifting its cumulative gross to $89.6 million since its 5 August release. "Obsession" climbed to second in its second weekend with $1.4 million, ahead of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" ($544,123, seventh weekend), new entry "The Drama" ($223,340), and family drama "The Journey to Gyeongju" ($124,071). The overall weekend market totalled $7.6 million, down from $9.8 million the previous week.

  • "The Odyssey" wins sixth straight weekend with $3.9m in South Korea.
  • "Obsession" rises to second place in its second week of release.
  • Overall Korean box office market dipped to $7.6m from $9.8m.
