‘boss’ Fallsโ toโค Second as โ’Chainsaw Man: Reze-hen’โค Dominates Korean Box Office
Seoul, South Korea – October 14, 2023 – The animated film ‘Chainsawโฃ Man โTheatrical: Reze-hen’ has surged toโ the top of the korean box office, displacing the actionโ film ‘Boss‘โค after a strong word-of-mouth campaign. Released on September 24th, โข’Reze-hen’ reached the โnumber one โคposition on October โฃ11th, 18 days after its debut, and has heldโข the lead for threeโค consecutive days.
Based on the ‘Reze-hen’ โคepisode โฃof Tatsuki โFujimoto’s manga ‘Chainsaw Man’ – which boasts a worldwide circulation exceeding 30 million copies – the filmโ followsโข Denji, a boy transformed into ‘Chainsaw Man,’ and his encounter with a girl named Reze.
Initially debuting in second place behind Park chan-wook’s ‘There’s โขNo help,’ ‘Chainsaw Man: Reze-hen’ briefly fell to third place following the release of ‘Boss’ during โขthe Chuseok holiday. However, positive audience โคreception fueled a rapid climb back to the top.
The film surpassed 1 โmillion cumulative viewers on October 5th, its 12thโ day in theaters – a faster pace than ‘F1: The Movie,’ which reached โthe same milestone on its 13th day.
According to Sony Pictures Korea, 16% of the film’s audience has optedโ for โฃpremium viewing experiences in special โtheaters like IMAX, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema, โคcontributing to repeat viewings and increased box office revenue. A Sony Pictures official told Yonhap News that “the N-th viewingโข craze through special theaters is a factor in boosting box office sales.”
As of October 13th, ‘Boss’ ranked second with 28,880 viewers, bringing its โcumulativeโค total to 2,065,459.โค ‘There’s No Help’โค followed โin third place with 17,150 viewers on the same day, and a cumulative audience of โ2,647,594. ‘Chainsawโข Man Theatrical: Reze-hen’ continues its theatrical run alongside the popular animeโ film ‘Demon Slayer Theatrical: Infinity Castle,’ which โคhas alreadyโ exceeded 5โ millionโ viewers in Korea.
