Two weeks after its release throughout the western world, The Odyssey press run has finally commenced in Asia.
On August 4, Matt Damon headed over to Seoul, South Korea for the movie's Seoul premiere at the CGV Yeongdeungpo, once again bringing his family along.

And joining them were the couple's youngest two daughters, 17-year-old Gia and 15-year-old Stella. Gia wore a baby blue maxi dress with a lace trim, while Stella opted for a flowy white dress with spaghetti straps.

"Having two older kids who are out of the nest and knowing how fast these final years go, we're trying to be mindful of holding onto what we can," he shared with the publication.
Matt recently also told GQ that he considers The Odyssey the "last of its kind" when it comes to big budget epic filmmaking, and he especially considers it the last of such movies that he'll be part of, especially in his mid 50s and with a family at home.

"It also has to do with this career where you're always trying to figure out what's ahead because it's such an uncertain business and a pretty ruthless one. Those kinds of things have conspired to, I think, maybe take me out of where I am, more than I'd like."

As of writing, it has made over $900 million at the box office, and is poised to become the fifth movie this year to gross over $1 billion worldwide. It ruled the box office for its first two weeks, being dethroned in week three by the historic performance from Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The Odyssey has also received critical acclaim, holding a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% as of writing, with Matt's performance receiving praise, and other special praise reserved for Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Samantha Morton as Circe, and Robert Pattinson as Antinous.
