Ten million admissions. That's the number Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" walked past over the weekend of September 4-6 in South Korea, and it did it while still sitting at No. 1.

According to KOBIS data reported by Variety, the film pulled in $5.9 million from 698,384 admissions across 1,858 screens over the three days, good for 60.92% of the entire weekend market. That's not a typo. One film took roughly six of every ten tickets sold in the country. Since its August 5 opening, "The Odyssey" has now banked $83.2 million from just over 10,027,970 admissions, its fifth straight weekend win.

For context on how lopsided this is: second place went to "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," now in its sixth week, and it managed only $942,178 from 146,674 admissions across 725 screens, a 9.6% share. Its cumulative haul stands at $67.9 million from 8.79 million viewers. Still a solid run for a superhero picture six weeks in. Just nowhere close to what's happening above it.

A pile-up of new releases, none of them breaking through

Below those two, the chart is basically a traffic jam of debuts, none landing with real force. Curry Barker's horror entry "Obsession" opened third with $1.1 million from 138,447 admissions since its September 2 launch, its full run so far sitting at $1.4 million.

The local road-trip drama "The Journey to Gyeongju," from director Kim Mi-jo and starring Lee Jung-eun, Gong Hyo-jin, Park So-dam, Lee Yeon and Byun Yo-han, held on for a fourth-place sophomore weekend, adding $359,527 to push its total to $2.1 million.

Right behind it, "Portrait of a Family," Lee Ji-won's drama about a former baseball star and a top actress whose lives unravel when a mysterious girl turns up, debuted fifth with $286,526 and a cumulative $484,757 since its September 2 opening. Musical drama "Power Ballad" opened sixth at $251,801, and the animated sequel "Teenieping: Legend of the Whale Heartstone" sits seventh, its cumulative gross now at $6 million after five weeks out.

There's also "The Intern," the Korean-language remake of Nancy Meyers' 2015 comedy, directed by Kim Do-young, which is already collecting money from preview screenings ahead of its official wide release, $91,227 from nearly 12,000 admissions and counting. Toho's "Detective Conan the Movie: Fallen Angel of the Highway" rounds out the mid-table at ninth, its franchise total crossing $3.1 million.

The wider numbers tell their own story. The total weekend market came in at $9.8 million, down sharply from $13.5 million the previous week, the kind of post-summer dip distributors expect every September. With that many new titles fighting for scraps under one dominant film, the real question for the rest of the month is whether any of them can chip away at "The Odyssey" before its momentum finally runs out.
