‘Ant-Man 3’ exceeds 1 million in 8 days, slower than ‘Black Panther 2’

Actor Jin Seon-gyu's first leading role, 'Count', entered second place on the first day of release, and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania' ('Ant-Man 3') exceeded 1 million.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network on the 23rd, 'Ant-Man 3' (directed by Peyton Reed) mobilized 56,214 people the previous day, maintaining the top spot in the daily box office. The current cumulative number of viewers is 1,031,853, exceeding 1 million viewers within 8 days of its release. 'Ant-Man 3' has been ranked first since its release on the 15th, but its box office figures are below expectations. Considering that the Marvel movie 'Black Panther 2' (directed by Ryan Coogler), which was a box office failure, also exceeded 1 million on the 5th day of release, this is a low level.

‘Count’ (Director Kwon Hyuk-jae), released on the 22nd, entered second place. On the first day of release, 38,066 people listened, and the cumulative number of viewers was 52,060. 'Count' is a film about the story of Siheon (Jin Seon-gyu), a former gold medalist and My Way teacher who never lets go once he gets a bite, meets a ragtag group of students and delivers a delightful blow to the world.

Third place was 'The First Slam Dunk', which added 36,554 people, accumulating 3,383,797 people.

'Search 2' (directed by Nicholas D Johnson and Will Merrick), which was released on the same day as 'Count', attracted 36,192 people, 'Marui Video' (directed by Junhyung Yoon) attracted 21,128 people, and 'TAR Tar' (directed by Todd Field) ranked 4th, 5th, and 8th, mobilizing 3,960 people each.
