The film 'Omniscient Reader' has lit up the box office signals with a reservation rate nearing 30% on its opening day.
According to the Film Promotion Committee's reservation rate tally on the 23rd, 'Omniscient Reader' has clinched the top spot in both reservation rate at 29.5% and ticket sales with 120,000 tickets sold.
The kickoff of Korea's blockbuster season sees 'Omniscient Reader' potentially dethroning the current box office leader, 'F1', to second place, sparking widespread interest.
The hype is real. 'Omniscient Reader' first reached the top of the reservation charts five days before its release on the 19th, maintaining its momentum. This figure is a testament to the audience's anticipation for the film.
'Omniscient Reader' is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel, serialized for over a decade and concluding on the day of its completion, becomes reality. The story follows 'Kim Dokja', the novel's sole reader, who, along with the novel's protagonist 'Yoo Joonghyuk' and his allies, strives to survive in a doomed world. The film is based on a web novel of the same name that has garnered over 200 million views.
The movie premiered in theaters nationwide today (23rd).
