The movie "<F1 The Movie>" starring Brad Pitt has taken the number one spot at the box office on its opening weekend, making a strong debut. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film attracted over 347,000 viewers from the 27th to the 29th, achieving a revenue share of 37.8% and reaching the top.
According to the integrated ticketing system, "<F1 The Movie>" has maintained the daily box office number one position since its release on the 25th, surpassing a cumulative audience of 480,000. The film depicts the story of a promising driver, Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), who joins the lowest-ranked team after a crash.
The fantasy film "<How to Train Your Dragon>", which held the box office top spot for three weeks, has been pushed to second place. However, during the same period, it added over 152,000 viewers, bringing its cumulative audience to over 1.52 million. The horror film "<Noise>" starring Lee Sun-bin started in third place with over 147,000 viewers on its opening weekend.
The Disney-Pixar animation "<Elio>" and the Korean superhero film "<High Five>" attracted 124,000 and 49,000 viewers respectively, securing fourth and fifth places.
However, it remains uncertain whether "<F1 The Movie>" will continue its box office dominance. Major Hollywood releases such as "<Jurassic World: New Beginnings>" and "<Superman>" are set to debut in early July, leading to fierce competition.
In fact, according to the Korean Film Council, as of 9 AM on July 1st, the reservation rate for "<Jurassic World: New Beginnings>" is at 29.0% (over 53,000 people), leading the pack. "<F1 The Movie>" follows with 22.3% (over 41,000 people), and "<Superman>" is next with 9.5% (over 17,000 people).
