The film "Goonche" took first place at the weekend box office from its opening week.
On the 25th, the side of "Goonche" (director Yeon Sang-ho, provided/distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by Wowpoint·Smilegate, co-produced by Midnight Studio) said it had risen to first place at the weekend box office in its opening week.
Earlier, "Goonche" surpassed 1 million cumulative admissions in four days after its release and recorded the highest opening score among films released this year. In addition, with first place at the weekend box office in its opening week, it appears to be creating a box office storm.
According to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated computer network, as of 7 a.m. on the 25th, "Goonche" drew 1,281,665 admissions from the 22nd through the 24th. This figure surpasses the first-weekend records of this year's releases, including The King's Warden, "Project Hail Mary," "Michael," and "The Devil Wears Prada 2."
"Goonche" is a film about survivors trapped inside a building sealed off by a mysterious infection who confront infected people evolving in unpredictable ways. It is the third work continuing director Yeon Sang-ho's distinctive universe, known as the "Yeoniverse," following Train to Busan and Peninsula, and is attracting fans' expectations as another zombie film.
In addition, the film drew attention with a star-studded casting lineup including Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Changwook, Kim Shin-rock, Shin Hyun-been and a special appearance by Go Soo. The film was invited to the midnight screening section at the recent Cannes Film Festival, where it held a world premiere screening and received about seven minutes of standing ovations. <
