'Crime City 3', 80,000 viewers mobilized... Certainly surpassed 9 million today (20th)

The movie 'Sin City 3' is expected to break through the 9 million mark today.

According to the Korea Film Promotion Commission's integrated computer network for movie theater tickets, 'Criminal City 3' (director Lee Sang-yong) mobilized 83,688 spectators on the 19th, and the cumulative number of spectators is 8,998,903.

Since its release on the 31st of last month, 'Criminal City 3' has mobilized audiences to the pre-Corona 19 level and turned on the green light for 10 million films. However, the number of daily audiences on weekdays in the 3rd week dropped to an average of 100,000, and in the 4th week, the number of viewers on weekdays fell to 80,000. This is a significant drop compared to the 1st and 2nd weeks, when 500,000 and 800,000 viewers were added on weekdays while enjoying the special holiday season. It is certain to break through 9 million within today (20th).

Previously, the industry predicted that 'Crime City 3' would break 10 million within this week, but there are also opinions that observe that it will be difficult because the graph is drawing a steep downward curve.

'Crime City 3' is an irreplaceable monster detective Ma Seok-do (Ma Dong-seok) moves to the Seoul Metropolitan Investigation Unit to catch Joo Seong-cheol (Lee Jun-hyuk), who is behind a new drug crime case, and Ricky (Aoki Munetaka), another villain involved in a drug case. It is a film depicting an exhilarating crime-fighting operation for the sake of others.

The second place was 'Elemental' with 52,398 viewers and a cumulative audience of 565,8441. 'Flash' is in third place, with 218,339 people mobilized and 455,657 people accumulated. It was followed by 'Transformers: The Rise of the Beast' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3'.
