크리스토퍼 놀란 감독의 영화 ’오디세이’가 개봉 27일 만에 누적 관객 900만 명을 넘었습니다. 9월 1일 영화관입장권 통합전산망에 따르면, ’오디세이’는 8월 31일 오후 6시 3분 기준으로 900만 명을 넘어섰습니다. 개봉 24일 만에 800만 명을 달성한 뒤 사흘 만에 100만 명을 더 모은 것입니다. 개봉 30일째에 900만 명을 기록한 ’아바타: 물의 길’보다 사흘 빠른 속도입니다. ’오디세이’가 천만 관객을 채우면 놀란 감독은 ’인터스텔라’에 이어 두 번째 천만 영화를 갖게 됩니다.

It reached 8 million 24 days after release and then added another 1 million in three days. That is three days faster than 'Avatar: The Way of Water', which reached 9 million on its 30th day.

Grammar points

N보다than N (comparison)

보다 attaches to the thing you are comparing against, and the adjective that follows says how the subject differs. 'Avatar'보다 사흘 빠른 puts 'Avatar' as the yardstick and says this film beat it by three days. The measure of the gap, 사흘, sits between 보다 and the adjective.

Example: 개봉 30일째에 900만 명을 기록한 '아바타: 물의 길'보다 사흘 빠른 속도입니다.

That is three days faster than 'Avatar: The Way of Water', which reached 9 million on its 30th day.

-(으)면if, when

-(으)면 sets a condition, and the main clause says what follows from it. 채우면 ... 갖게 됩니다 is a forecast, not a report: the 10 million has not happened yet, and the sentence is careful to say so. News uses this form whenever a milestone is close but not reached.

Example: '오디세이'가 천만 관객을 채우면 놀란 감독은 '인터스텔라'에 이어 두 번째 천만 영화를 갖게 됩니다.

If 'The Odyssey' fills 10 million seats, Nolan will have his second 10-million film after 'Interstellar'.
