'National Treasure' Breaks 130,000 Audience Today (4th) in Korea!

This year's life masterpiece 〈National Treasure〉 has been leading the independent and art film box office for 15 consecutive days, and today it has surpassed 130,000 viewers, accelerating its box office success faster than the Korean art film 〈Master of the World〉.

The highest-grossing Japanese live-action film 〈National Treasure〉 is creating a small but strong box office sensation in Korea, surpassing 130,000 viewers today, and is on the verge of breaking 150,000 viewers this week. This is a faster pace than the Korean art film 〈Master of the World〉 and is expected to quickly exceed the final audience number of 133,614 for the art film 〈Happy End〉 from the first half of the year. The box office craze of 〈National Treasure〉 in Korean theaters is remarkable compared to the approximately 100 million yen in Japanese box office revenue of the ten million movie 〈Burial〉 and the approximately 10,000 to 30,000 Japanese viewers of 〈Seoul's Spring〉. The film 〈National Treasure〉, which has transcended the limitations of the unfamiliar subject of traditional Japanese art Kabuki, will also serve as a catalyst for cultural exchange between the two countries for Korean audiences.

The film 〈National Treasure〉 depicts the once-in-a-lifetime story of two men who had to surpass each other to reach the realm of national treasures. A must-see masterpiece this fall that has garnered both box office success and critical acclaim, 〈National Treasure〉 is currently showing to great acclaim.
