The movie "The Man Who Lives With The King" is heating up overseas theaters beyond Korea.

After "The Man Who Lives with the King" became the 34th 10 millionth movie of all time, it continues to be a hot box office hit in North America, proving the potential of K-movies. The movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" is the story of Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a village chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled.

The movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" surpassed 12 million viewers on the 36th day of its release and remains at the top of the box office in the fifth week of its release. "The Man Who Lives with the King" announced the birth of 10 million movies two years after "The Crime City 4", establishing itself as a representative box office hit in the theater this year. Along with the good performances of the actors, the Nth viewing craze has been added to the success of the series of favorable reviews by real-time viewers for the work that densely captures the hidden narrative of Danjong.

With the response of foreign theaters following Korea, the popularity of the movie is drawing attention, especially in North America.

Since its sequential release in the United States on February 13 (local time), "The Man Who Lives with the King" has been screened in more than 50 cities across the United States and Canada and has been meeting with global audiences. "The Man Who Lives with the King," which surpassed the North American box office record of "The Outlaws 4" in its second week of release in North America, recorded $1.79 million in sales as of March 9, surpassing the North American performances of "Seoul Spring" and "Extreme Job." Accordingly, the scale of North American release is also gradually expanding. It will be released in 125 theaters this week and accumulated about 150 theaters, and it is meeting the audience with an unusual screening scale for a Korean film released in North America.

JBG Pictures USA, which is in charge of distribution in North America, said, "We are expanding the screening area every week thanks to the current box office momentum. We are doing our best to secure theaters so that more audiences can watch movies, especially in major areas where Koreans live in North America," he said, realizing the popularity of "The Man Who Lives with the King" spreading beyond Korea to the world. Attention is focusing on how far the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" will continue its global box office record following its 12 million domestic audience.
