The film 'Odyssey' has shattered the record for the highest pre-sale volume in director Christopher Nolan's career.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network on the 29th, 'Odyssey,' which is sweeping the globe after breaking through $639.6 million (approximately 935.2 billion won at Hanwha) in global box office revenue, has surpassed 150,000 pre-sale tickets with just seven days until its release. This figure exceeds the 139,000 tickets sold during the same period for 'Oppenheimer,' which previously held the record for the highest pre-sales in Nolan's career, demonstrating the explosive interest of domestic audiences toward the work.

With a Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter score of 97% and a CinemaScore grade of A, the film is expected to trigger a major box office phenomenon in Korea as well, having been recognized for both its artistic merit and mass appeal. Additionally, anticipation has been further heightened by plans for director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, actors Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron to visit Korea officially on August 3 to meet with Korean fans.

Meanwhile, 'Odyssey' will be available in theaters nationwide on August 5.
