"The King's Warden" continues its box office momentum, drawing more than 300,000 viewers a day even on weekdays.
On the morning of the 26th, the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated box office network reported that the film "The King's Warden" (director Jang Hang-jun, distributed/provided by SHOWBOX, produced by Onda Works·BA Entertainment) attracted 309,574 viewers nationwide on the 25th.
Only one film, "The King's Warden," exceeded 300,000 daily viewers. Even considering that the 25th was the monthly final Wednesday known as "Culture Day," when some showtimes offer discounted theater tickets for 7,000 won, it is an unusual achievement for a weekday audience to surpass 300,000 given the recent slump in the cinema industry.
With this, "The King's Warden" has recorded a cumulative audience of 6,528,519. Both its daily and cumulative audience figures are the highest among films released this year. The film's explosive box office momentum during the Lunar New Year holiday season appears to be continuing. Expectations are rising about how far "The King's Warden"'s box office run will go.
"The King's Warden" is a film that depicts the story of Cheongnyeongpo in 1457, the village chief who volunteered for exile to revive his village, and the young deposed former king who was exiled. It opened on the 4th and is meeting audiences at theaters nationwide.<
