Korean Films Reach 3-Million-Viewer Mark

2005/02/15 | Source | Permalink |

SEOUL (Yonhap) - Two Korean films, "Marathon" and "Another Public Enemy - Public Enemy 2", broke the 3-million mark in box-office ratings over the weekend, according to studio estimates Monday.

"Marathon" drew 3,006,702 people to cinemas across the nation by Sunday, the third week of its opening, production company Cine Line II said.

Chief box-office rival "Public Enemy 2 (Kongkongui Chok 2) passed the crucial 3-million mark one day earlier on Saturday to record ticket sales of 3,150,000 on Sunday, Cinema Service said.

The South Korean box office is calculated on audience figures in Seoul.

Only a few movies have achieved such success in the wake of "Silmido" and "Taegukgi", two films that attracted over 11 million viewers last year.

"Marathon", a moving drama that celebrates the human spirit with the tale of a young autistic man who finds happiness in Marathons, opened Jan. 28, one day after "Public Enemy", but recently overtook it to top the local box office.

"Public Enemy 2", about a prosecutor's righteous war against social evils, is the sequel to Director Kang Woo-seok's 2002 film.
