The film "The Journey to Gyeongju" has started its run at No. 3 at the box office.
According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing computer network on the 27th, "The Journey to Gyeongju" attracted 36,796 viewers nationwide on its opening day, the 26th, landing at No. 3 at the box office.
While "The Odyssey" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" have dominated theaters for about a month, "The Journey to Gyeongju" attracted the highest audience among Korean films upon its release, but it fell short of surpassing the two blockbuster hits.
"The Odyssey" defended its No. 1 spot at the box office for four consecutive weeks, surpassing a cumulative audience of 7.65 million. It is showing strong momentum by gathering 190,000 viewers even on weekdays in its fourth week. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has seen its momentum slow down as it entered its fifth week of release, but it is showing lingering strength by gathering over 40,000 viewers. Its cumulative audience has surpassed 8.26 million.
"The Journey to Gyeongju" is a family revenge drama about four mothers and daughters who go on a fatal journey after eight years of waiting for the youngest daughter, Gyeongju, who never returned from a school trip. Lee Jung-eun, Kong Hyo-jin, Park So-dam, and Lee Yeon star in the film, while Byun Yohan made a special appearance.
