The action blockbuster film "Typhoon", starring Jang Dong-gun, Lee Jeong-jae and Lee Mi-yeon and directed by Kwak Gyeong-taek, drew 280,000 viewers in 540 theaters nationwide on its opening day of Dec. 14, according to the movie's distributor, CJ Entertainment.

In Seoul, some 84,000 people went to see the movie on its opening day.

"Typhoon" broke the record of "Taegukgi" by Kang Je-gyu, which drew 230,000 viewers when it opened on Feb. 5, 2004. All in all, "Taegukgi" drew 320,000 viewers by its opening day, including 90,000 viewers who attended the movie's premiere the day before it opened in theaters.

"The movie literally set an 'explosive' opening record because it stars top actors and was directed by a first-class film director. We'll see if this feat will continue down the road", said a person from CJ Entertainment.
