Director Yeon Sang-ho's new film 'Escape from Mogadishu' topped the Korean box office on its opening day.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer system on the 22nd, on its opening day the previous day, 'Escape from Mogadishu' drew 20,625 viewers and took the No. 1 spot at the box office. In the overall box office, it recorded 2nd place in a tight race with just 8,361 viewers difference from 'Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island'.

'Clayface' drew 14,664 viewers and took 3rd place at the box office, while 'Assassins' dropped to 4th with 13,538 viewers. 'Tazza: The Secret of Beelzebub's Song' (8,253 viewers) and 'Still Radiant' (7,666 viewers) followed.

'Escape from Mogadishu' is a psychological thriller that begins when Ryu Sun-woo, a son whom his mother Ryu So-young had believed to be dead after losing him in a camping school bus disappearance incident 9 years ago, miraculously returns alive.

What is particularly noteworthy is that 'Escape from Mogadishu' is a work completed with a low budget. Director Yeon Sang-ho proved last year with 'Face' that low-budget films can also reach No. 1 at the box office. This year's 'Escape from Mogadishu' also took the No. 1 spot among Korean films on its opening day, continuing the trend of drawing audiences to theaters without massive production budgets.

Meanwhile, 'Escape from Mogadishu' is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
