Director Jang Hang-joon is on the verge of recording the fifth place in the box office with "The Man Who Lives with the King."
According to the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network on the 18th, "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon) remained at the top of the box office with 124,447 audiences on the 17th. The cumulative audience is 13,722,159.
"The Man Who Lives with the King" exceeded the record of the first 10 million movie this year and 10 million movie in two years since "The Outlaws 4" (2024), and the cumulative number of "Seoul Spring" (1,3128,080), which attracted the largest number of Korean movies since the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. This set a milestone for the largest number of Korean movies released since the pandemic.
In particular, "The Man Who Lives with the King" ranked seventh in the overall box office of all time, and considering the current situation, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors a day on weekdays, it is expected to surpass "Frozen 2" on the 18th and "Avengers: Endgame" within this week.
In response, director Jang Hang-joon is on the verge of becoming fifth in the box office by beating the most successful Hollywood movie of all time.
So far, "Roaring Currents" (17.616,661), "Extreme Job" (16,266,641), "Along with the Gods" (14,414,658), and "Ode to the World" (14,269,317). With "The Man Who Lives With the King" having reserved the fifth place in history, attention is being paid to whether it will be able to surpass "Roaring Currents," which is the first place in history.
Meanwhile, 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.
