The film 'Hitman 2' (directed by Choi Won-sub) has surpassed 2 million viewers.
According to the integrated computer network for movie theater admissions of the Korean Film Council, 'Hitman 2' drew 42,294 viewers on the 3rd, bringing the cumulative number of viewers to 2,011,039.
This achievement was reached on the 13th day since its release. It became the first film of the year to surpass 2 million viewers. During the Lunar New Year holiday alone, it attracted approximately 1.7 million viewers, showing a promising box office outlook.
'Hitman 2' is a sequel to 'Hitman'. It tells the story of Joon (played by Kwon Sang-woo), a once-successful creator who has fallen to become a 'stale creator', as he is pursued due to a webtoon imitation terrorist attack.
The original members who led the previous film have joined forces again. Kwon Sang-woo, along with Jung Joon-ho, Lee Yi-kyung, and Hwang Woo-seul-hye, set out to hunt for the audience's laughter.
Meanwhile, 'Black Nuns' was viewed by 27,624 people on the same day, remaining in second place at the box office. 'Secret That Cannot Be Told' (20,000 viewers) followed behind.
