'Odyssey' has reclaimed the box office No. 1 spot, surpassing 'The Intern'. Meanwhile, Korean films 'Assassins' and 'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub', targeting the Chuseok holiday, are launching simultaneously, intensifying competition in theaters.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated box office database on the 23rd, 'Odyssey' drew 36,233 viewers the previous day, securing the No. 1 position at the box office. Its cumulative audience reached 11.28 million 6,770 viewers.

'The Intern', which had held the top spot for six consecutive days since its release, attracted 33,474 viewers on this day and yielded the No. 1 position to 'Odyssey'. Its cumulative audience stands at 471,218 viewers.

Among these, two Korean films targeting the Chuseok holiday theater season are releasing side by side on the 23rd, threatening existing box office hits.

As of 8:15 a.m. on the day of release, 'Assassins' recorded a 30.6% advance ticket sales rate and 233,462 pre-booked viewers, ranking first in overall advance ticket sales.

'Assassins' is a story tracing the suspicions and masterminds behind the shocking assassination of the First Lady that shook South Korea on August 15, 1974. Directed by Heo Jin-ho, the film stars Park Hae-il, Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Min-ho, and others, depicting the choices and truth-seeking journey of individuals surrounding the historical event.

Following 'Odyssey', 'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' started at third place with a 15.3% advance ticket sales rate and 116,752 pre-booked viewers.

'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' is a crime film about Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who believed he had everything through an online casino business, and his best friend Park Tae-young (played by Noh Jae-won) of the same name, who took everything from him. The two reunite on the global gambling stage to settle their score in a final showdown.

With 'Odyssey' continuing its long-term box office run well beyond 10 million viewers, 'The Intern' leading in its opening week, and new Chuseok releases 'Assassins' and 'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' joining the fray, competition for the box office rankings during the holiday is expected to become even more intense.
