'Seoul's Spring' Surpasses 'The Outlaws 3' as This Year's Top Box Office Hit

Green Light for Entering the Top 20 All-Time Box Office Within the Year

Director Kim Seong-su's film 'Seoul's Spring' has surpassed 10 million viewers, becoming this year's highest-grossing movie. According to distributor Plus M Entertainment, as of 4:45 PM on the 25th, the film recorded a cumulative audience of 10,692,880. It easily surpassed 'Crime City 3,' which had 10,682,813 viewers. Even though it has been a month since its release, the reservation rate (as of 5 PM that day) reached 34.4% (104,854 tickets), indicating a new box office legend is expected.

The film surpassed 10 million viewers on the 24th, 33 days after its release. It achieved this feat for the first time in four years for a non-franchise film since 'Parasite.' Currently, it ranks 26th in the all-time box office standings. At this pace, entering the top 20 within the year also seems possible.

'Seoul's Spring' is a drama depicting the nine tense hours surrounding the December 12, 1979, military coup attempt by the new military forces in Seoul and those trying to stop it. The film stars Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Sung-min, Park Hae-joon, and Kim Sung-kyun.
