Screen Breaks Through to 800,000! 'Choir of God' Surpasses Cumulative Audience!

According to the integrated computer network of the Korean Film Council on January 30, the film 〈Choir of God〉 has surpassed a cumulative audience of 800,000 as of this date. This remarkable achievement comes after a series of reversals since its release on December 31, reaching this milestone in its fifth week.

The box office trend of 〈Choir of God〉 has been nothing short of a drama. Initially struggling to secure screens amidst the fierce waves of Hollywood blockbusters like 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and 'Zootopia 2', it managed to turn the tide solely through the 'power of the work' and 'word of mouth' from audiences. Starting at fifth place, it climbed to second in the box office, showcasing a 'reverse run', and even in its fifth week since release, it continues to maintain a top seat sales rate, demonstrating its box office vitality.

The primary contributor to surpassing 800,000 is undoubtedly the audience. Captivated by the laughter, emotion, and comforting messages the film provides, audiences have voluntarily engaged in 'N screenings', becoming a strong support group. In particular, the 'sing-along screening' craze, which transformed theaters into concert halls, has established itself as a cultural phenomenon beyond mere viewing, playing a significant role in the long-term box office success. Meanwhile, Megabox is currently holding a sing-along screening event with great enthusiasm.

Now, the focus of 〈Choir of God〉 is on reaching '1 million viewers'. Despite starting with the handicap of a significantly lower number of seats compared to competing films, it has shown the essence of 'solid box office success' by reaching 800,000, making it only a matter of time before it surpasses 1 million.
