The live-action film 〈5 Centimeters per Second〉, which recorded the highest ticket sales for art films even before its release, has solidified its position as a major romance film with all tickets sold out for its Korean event. This adaptation of the animated film by director Makoto Shinkai attracted over 1.6 million viewers during its release in Japan, proving its box office potential.

Sold Out Immediately Upon Opening... GV with Lee Je-hoon and Stage Greetings with Noah Shiroyama

As soon as the news broke that director Yoshiyuki Okuyama and actor Noah Shiroyama would be visiting Korea, the reaction from domestic fans was explosive. In particular, the GV taking place on the 27th at Lotte Cinema World Tower sold out over 300 seats in an instant, especially with the news that actor Lee Je-hoon would be participating as the moderator.

Additionally, the mega talk with writer Kim Se-yoon on the 28th at Megabox COEX, as well as the stage greetings at major theaters in Seoul (CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall, Lotte Cinema World Tower, Megabox COEX) featuring Noah Shiroyama, who is called 'Japan's National Little Sister' for her role as young Akari, also sold out quickly, proving its hot topic status.

Bringing the Original's Emotion to Life... Lyrical Visuals and Overwhelming Ticket Sales

The film 〈5 Centimeters per Second〉 captures the longing of Takaki and Akari, who are growing up at different speeds while holding onto memories of their childhood. The anticipation for director Yoshiyuki Okuyama's mise-en-scène, which successfully translates the original's unique lyrical atmosphere into live action, is reflected in the ticket sales.

The continuous sold-out streak since the premiere screening before its release is interpreted as a result of targeting the tastes of domestic audiences who have been thirsty for the romance genre. With the director and actors personally sharing behind-the-scenes stories during the Korean visit week, the film's emotional impact is expected to be greatly enhanced.

Maintaining the top spot in ticket sales among concurrent releases and signaling a box office success, 〈5 Centimeters per Second〉 will officially premiere in theaters nationwide tomorrow, February 25th.
