The domestic sci-fi blockbuster 'D-War' will open on 1,500 screens in the U.S., making it the largest scale opening for a Korean film there.
Film investor and distributor Showbox / Mediaplex Inc. says the movie will open August 2 in Korea and in late August in the U.S.
A Showbox official says it is the first 'wide release' Korean film given that the widest yet was 'Host' which was shown at some 100 American theaters.
Directed by Shim Hyung-rae, the mega scale production took six years to complete with help from Hollywood staff and actors.
The official says the U.S. release of the film is hoped to showcase Korean cinema potential in the world market. He pledged thorough preparations for the film's success in the U.S.
