Kobis, the cinema data service operated by the Korean Film Council, reported that the film had reached 3.71 million admissions and a gross haul of $27.2 million by the evening of Tuesday, its fifth full day in cinemas. On Wednesday morning, the film’s distributor CJ ENM said that the film’s ticket sales total had surpassed 4 million by 9am local time. That would give an estimated box office total of $30 million, that will be confirmed by independent data later in the day. CJ ENM has not disclosed a production budget for the title, but it said that with this level of business the film has now broken even.
