The film "The King's Warden" is drawing more than 200,000 moviegoers on the weekend even in its eighth week since release.
On the 29th, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) box office integrated computer network, "The King's Warden" (abbreviated as "Wangsa-nam") drew 225,306 viewers nationwide on the 28th. With this, "Wangsa-nam" recorded a cumulative audience of 15,427,516.
"Wangsa-nam" opened on Feb. 4 last month and this week marks its eighth week since release. Nonetheless, it is still drawing weekend audiences of more than twice the weekday numbers, in the 200,000 range.
In the list of highest-grossing Korean releases of all time, "Wangsa-nam" is in third place, while "Extreme Job" is in second with 16,266,641 viewers. "Wangsa-nam" is about 800,000 viewers short of "Extreme Job"'s score.
Earlier, the domestic film industry had predicted a final score in the 15 million range for "Wangsa-nam." Attention continues to focus on the film's final box office record.
Meanwhile, the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Project Hail Mary" drew 173,607 viewers, bringing its cumulative audience to 1,003,854. With "Project Hail Mary" ranking first in advance sales and quickly surpassing 1 million viewers, attention is on how long the two-way competition with "Wangsa-nam" will continue. <
