Actor Shin Mina's starring film "눈동자" has caught a box office wave. After holding the No. 1 spot at the box office for two consecutive days, it has surpassed 500,000 viewers and is continuing on course.
According to the integrated movie ticketing network on the 3rd, the film "눈동자" (director Yeom Ji-ho) surpassed 500,000 cumulative viewers as of 8:20 a.m. that day.
"눈동자," which was released last week, is a suspense thriller about Seojin (Shin Mina), who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease and uncovers suspicions surrounding her twin sister's death, confronting the truth.
This work drew a lot of public interest as it is the first film Shin Mina has presented since her marriage. Shin Mina held a wedding last December with actor Kim Woo-bin after a 10-year public relationship. Since then, Shin Mina has continued her busy work by promoting "눈동자" and participating in various publicity activities.
In particular, in "눈동자" Shin Mina had not only to play two roles but also to portray visual impairment, which must have been a considerable burden. Moreover, what Shin Mina had to portray was not simply not being able to see. Because she is losing her sight gradually, she delicately acted the confusion and fear from narrowing vision, as well as the tension in situations where she had to pretend not to see even when she could.
Furthermore, Shin Mina, through consistent practice, freely adjusted even the position of her pupils and actively used that to express the character. His emotional acting that conveyed the fear that comes from "things that cannot be seen" intact and the desperate struggle in the final confrontation with the real culprit, in which she threw her body, drew audiences further into the work. It is truly a performance worthy of a "thriller queen."
As a result, on the 1st "눈동자" drew 49,098 viewers and held the No. 1 spot at the box office, surpassing "Toy Story 5." In addition, on the 2nd it recorded 50,720 viewers, maintaining the No. 1 box office position for two consecutive days.
Buoyed by this interest, "눈동자" surpassed 500,000 viewers 10 days after its release, continuing its strong box office momentum. Since it is tracking a record one day faster than the thriller "Noise," which drew 1.7 million viewers last year, expectations are building that "눈동자" will also demonstrate strong staying power through word of mouth.
Meanwhile, "눈동자" opened on the 24th of last month and is showing to acclaim in theaters.<
