The movie 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has surpassed 'HOPE' to take the top spot in both pre-sale rates and ticket volume, nine days ahead of its release.
According to data from the Korean Film Council on the 20th, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has recorded a pre-sale rate of 48.8% (as of 10:30 a.m.) with 230,000 tickets sold. This result puts it nearly double ahead of the current box office leader, 'HOPE' (26.6%, 120,000 tickets).
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' depicts the journey of Peter Parker, who lives alone after being forgotten by everyone, as he overcomes new threats to become a true hero.
The 'Tom Holland Spider-Man' series, often referred to as 'Tom-Spa' in Korea, has never failed at the local box office. The previous three films—'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (2017, 7.25 million viewers), 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (2019, 8.02 million viewers), and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' (2021, 7.55 million viewers)—all recorded massive success with over 7 million viewers each.
Returning after five years, the fourth installment is also recording high pre-sale rates and ticket volumes ahead of its release, signaling a fierce battle to become this summer's box office winner.
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' will be released on the 29th.
