The movie 'Lobby,' which has been praised as 'a weird and funny crazy movie,' has climbed into the weekend box office TOP2 along with 'Match,' hinting at the double success of Korean films.
As of 7 a.m. on April 7 (Monday), according to the integrated computer network of cinema ticket sales, Korean films 'Lobby' and 'Match' have secured positions in the weekend box office TOP2. These two films, receiving praise with their distinct charms in the off-peak cinema scene, are expected to bring a spring for Korean films to the theater this spring.
In particular, 'Lobby' (directed by Ha Jung-woo, produced by Workhouse Company and Film Momentum, provided by Michigan Venture Capital and WYSIWYG STUDIOS, distributed by SHOWBOX) is gaining attention as 'a weird and funny crazy movie.' Comments such as 'I keep thinking about it in a strange way when I sleep,' 'It's definitely Ha Jung-woo's taste in humor. Our comedy codes match too well,' 'Essence of wordplay,' 'I laugh a lot at the theater for the first time in a while,' 'They keep joking shamelessly. The actors are really amazing at acting,' 'It's really fun if you leave your brain behind. A good movie to watch without any thoughts,' and 'People working in companies will definitely relate' reflect Ha Jung-woo's humor code and relatable subjects for anyone who has ever worked, along with the actors' shining performances, making it a strangely addictive film that is spreading by word of mouth.
During a recent VIP screening, celebrities of various ages such as Lee Jay-hoon, Producer Na Young-seok, Park Joong-hoon, and Kim Dong-wook expressed satisfaction, saying, 'A movie for those who want to laugh after a long time,' 'A movie that will revitalize the theaters,' 'You will be completely captivated by the charm of 'Lobby,'' and 'It's the perfect movie to watch with a light heart and smile brightly.' This week, in its second week of release, it is expected to maintain steady word of mouth.
The movie 'Lobby' tells the story of a startup CEO, Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows only research, as he begins his first-ever lobbying golf to secure a 4 trillion won national project, and it is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
