[The Fact ㅣ Reporter Kim Saet-byeol] Actresses Kim Hye-soo and Yum Jung-ah's 'Smoggling' herald the revival of the summer theater district.
On the 27th, according to the movie ticketing integrated computer network of the Film Promotion Committee, 'Smuggling' (directed by Ryu Seung-wan), which was released on the 26th, mobilized 318,092 viewers and accounted for first place at the box office with a cumulative audience of 359,279.
This is the first time a Korean film has topped the box office in 42 days since 'City of Crime 3' topped on June 14.
In addition, this is also a number that far exceeds the first-day record of typical action-entertainment movies such as last summer's box office blockbuster 'Top Gun: Maverick' (188.312) and box office blockbuster Chuseok 'Cooperation' 2: International' (216.307) .
When 'Smuggling' started airing, 'Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One' (directed by Christopher McQuarrie) dropped to second place.
Then, 'Elemental' (directed by Peter Sohn), 'Detective Conan: Dark Iron Fish' (directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa) and 'Barbie' (directed by Greta Gerwig) were named respectively.
'Smuggling' is a maritime crime action movie in which people get caught up in a life-or-death battle against those who make a living by rescuing daily necessities that are thrown into the sea. Director Ryu Seung-wan's new film is released two years after 'Mogadishu', and stars Kim Hye-soo, Yum Jung-ah, Jo In-seong, Park Jung-min, Kim Jong-soo and Go Min-si, all the most famous actors appeared.
