Ticket sales for local thriller movie top 4 mil.

Share |

Ticket sales for a local thriller movie have surpassed the 4-million-mark despite stiff competition from Hollywood blockbusters, the film’s distributor said Sunday (March 16).

Showbox-Mediaplex said "The Chaser" reported ticket sales surpassing the key milestone on Saturday after hitting the silver screen 31 days ago.

This, it said is eight days faster than "Forever the Moment", another recent release about Korea’s women handball squad in the 2004 Olympics. Forever the Moment is the only other locally-made movie to have reached the 4-million-mark this year.

The Chaser, directed by Na Hong-jin and starring Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo, is an action-packed, fast moving story about a serial killer who stalks women masseurs and a man determined to stop him.

The distributor added that as only people over 18 can see the movie, the solid numbers are testament to the film’s ability to grab the attention of audiences.

The Chasers performance is doubly noteworthy because it hit the screen at about the same time as U.S. films like 10,000 B.C. and the Jumper, it said.
