According to the integrated computer network for movie tickets by the Korean Film Council, "Hitman 2" attracted 100,590 viewers on the 22nd. The cumulative audience is 103,958.
It surpassed the opening score of its predecessor. "Hitman" drew in 81,509 viewers when it was released on January 22, 2020. The number of viewers increased by nearly 20,000.
"Harbin" (directed by Woo Min-ho) dropped to second place, gathering 15,693 viewers that day. The cumulative audience is 4,554,350, showing a slight decline in its popularity.
"Hitman 2" is expected to maintain its dominance before the release of "Black Nuns" (directed by Kwon Hyuk-jae). As of the 23rd, the reservation rate is 40% for "Black Nuns" and 17% for "Hitman 2".
Meanwhile, "Hitman 2" is a sequel to "Hitman." It tells the story of Joon (played by Kwon Sang-woo), who falls from a hit drama writer to a washed-up writer and becomes a terrorism suspect.
