"The King's Warden" is on the verge of surpassing 7 million admissions.
On Feb. 27, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) film theater integrated computer network, the movie "The King's Warden" (director Jang Hang-jun, distributor/showbox SHOWBOX, produced by Onda Works·BA Entertainment) drew 204,929 viewers nationwide on the 26th.
With this, the cumulative admissions for "The King's Warden" reached 6,733,443. Even on weekdays it has drawn more than 200,000 viewers a day, putting it on the verge of surpassing 7 million admissions.
If "The King's Warden" continues its box office momentum, it would be the first Korean film to surpass 7 million admissions since "I, The Executioner" opened in September 2024, about a year and five months ago. Last year the top-grossing Korean film was "My Daughter is a Zombie," which drew 5,639,963 viewers. Attention continues to focus on whether "The King's Warden," which has far exceeded that figure and is on the verge of reaching 7 million, will maintain its momentum.
"The King's Warden" is a film set in 1457 at Cheongryeongpo that tells the story of a village headman who volunteered for exile to revive his village and a young deposed king exiled from the throne. It opened on the 4th and is meeting audiences at theaters nationwide.<
