The movie 'My Daughter Is a Zombie', starring Jo Jung-suk, continues to rapidly increase its audience numbers without losing momentum in its second week of release.
According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network for movie theater tickets, 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' attracted 184,974 people nationwide on the 4th, maintaining its position at the top of the box office. The cumulative audience count has reached 2,056,053.
The pace of 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' is remarkable, having surpassed 1 million in just 4 days and 2 million in 6 days after its release. Even as it entered its second week, when a drop in audience numbers was anticipated, it managed to draw in 180,000 people, showing little difference from the weekday figures of its first week. At this rate, surpassing 3 million within this week seems certain.
With a production budget of 11 billion won, the break-even point for 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' is 2.2 million. It is expected to reach this milestone as early as today, and at the latest by tomorrow.
'My Daughter Is a Zombie' is a comedic drama about a doting father who goes into secret training to protect his daughter, who has become the last zombie on Earth. The film, an adaptation of the webtoon 'My Daughter Turned Into a Zombie', was directed by Pil Gam-seong, who previously directed 'Hostage: Missing Celebrity'. It stars Cho Jung-seok, Choi Yu-ri, Lee Jung-eun, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Cho Yeo-jeong.
