Director Rian Johnson’s new film, “The Fall of Paradise,” took the top spot on the Korean box office on its opening day.

According to the Korea Film Council’s integrated computer network, “The Fall of Paradise” drew 20,625 viewers on its opening day, the previous day, to claim the number one position on the box office. On the overall box office, it recorded second place in a tight race with only an 8,361-viewer gap behind “Chiikawa: The Movie – The Secret of Mermaid Island.”

“Clayface” ranked third at the box office with 14,664 viewers, while “Assassin(s)” dropped to fourth place with 13,538 viewers. “Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub” (8,253) and “Still Radiant” (7,666) followed behind.

“The Fall of Paradise” is a psychological thriller that begins when Ryu Sun-woo, whom his mother Ryu So-young had believed to be dead after losing him in a camping school bus disappearance incident nine years ago, miraculously returns alive.

Notably, “The Fall of Paradise” is a work completed on a low budget. Director Rian Johnson proved last year with “Face” that even a low-budget film can reach the number one spot on the box office. This year, “The Fall of Paradise” also secured the top spot among Korean films on its opening day, continuing the trend of drawing audiences to theaters without large-scale production costs.

Meanwhile, “The Fall of Paradise” is currently showing at theaters nationwide.
