The film The King's Warden has continued its unstoppable box office run even after surpassing 15 million viewers.
On the 27th, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated box office network, The King's Warden (director Jang Hang-jun, distributor/producer SHOWBOX, production ONDA Works·BA Entertainment, abbreviated 'Wangsa-nam') drew about 72,000 people on the 26th alone and held the No. 1 spot at the box office. Cumulative attendance surpassed 15.1 million people.
After reaching the 10 million viewer mark on the 6th, The King's Warden surpassed 15 million viewers 50 days after its release and has continued to draw steady audiences, sustaining a long run. It has already exceeded 140 billion won in cumulative sales, securing a spot among the top ranks in box office history.
In particular, at the current pace some predict it could challenge the record for second place held by Extreme Job (final 16.26 million). Attention is focused on possible ranking changes depending on this weekend's audience turnout.
Directed by Jang Hang-jun, The King's Warden is set in Cheongnyeongpo in 1457 and tells the story of the exiled young former king and the village head who protects him. Yoo Hai Jin, Park Jihoon, Yoo Ji-tae and Jeon Mi-do appear in the film.
Meanwhile, on the same day the box office No. 2 was Project Hail Mary and No. 3 was Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train.<
