Korean film “The Unjust” directed by Ryoo Seung-wan remained on top of the box office chart for second consecutive week.

According to the Korean Box Office Information System (KOBIS) on Monday, “The Unjust” starring Hwang Jung-min, Ryoo Seung-bum, Yoo Hae-jin and Cheon Ho-jin attracted 452,328 viewers during the weekend of November 5 to 7.

The movie, an action-packed thriller that delves into widespread corruption which occurs within a prosecutors’ office, had debuted atop the box office after its premiere two weeks ago.

The second runner was U.S. action film “Red,” starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich, that premiered last Thursday with 181,690 visitors during the three-day period.

Another Korean film “Bad Couple” starring actor Lim Chang-jung and actress Uhm Ji-won came in third place selling 172,647 tickets followed by a new U.S. supernatural horror flick titled “Devil” directed by M. Night Shyamalan with 56,630 tickets.

The 3D animation “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” came in fifth, after being sought by 55,914 moviegoers over the weekend.

Other blockbusters that settled in this week’s top 10 chart included “No Doubt,” “After Shock,” “Paranormal Activity: 2” and "The Social Network.”
