The movie 'Boss' achieved the No. 1 spot at the overall box office during the Chuseok holiday.
On the 13th, the team behind the movie 'Boss' (director Ra Hee-chan, produced by Hive Media Corp., offered/distributed by Hive Media Corp. Mindmark) said it recorded the No. 1 overall box office position during the 10-day holiday period from the 3rd to the 12th.
'Boss' is a comic action film that depicts the desperate battles of organization members who fiercely "yield" the boss position to each other for their own dreams ahead of selecting the next boss, which determines the organization's future. It opened on the 3rd, kicking off the Chuseok holiday.
Meanwhile, by dominating the overall box office during the 10-day holiday from the 3rd to the 12th, it proved an unwaning fervor. This Chuseok holiday, with the exception of one day on the 10th, was an unusually long stretch of holidays, making the steady interest and support from audiences toward the film during the golden holiday period feel even more meaningful.
Having taken the No. 1 box office spot upon release and risen to the top of the overall box office for eight consecutive days, 'Boss' recorded a cumulative audience of 2,036,589 according to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network on the 13th, once again proving the steady enthusiastic response from audiences and signaling the start of sustained long-term success. Moreover, 'Boss' surpassed 1 million viewers in five days after release and drew 2 million viewers at the fastest pace among October releases since the 2020 pandemic, continuing an astonishing box office trend day after day, which focuses more attention on its future box office run.
Filled with nonstop laughter, the film 'Boss,' which charms audiences with the appeal of diverse characters and a delightful energy delivered by a trusted ensemble of actors, is expected to continue its box office momentum as the comic action film that will carry theaters this fall.
