The Intern Defends No. 1 Spot at Box Office for 6 Straight Days... A Narrow Lead

The movie The Intern has maintained the No. 1 spot at the box office for six consecutive days since its release.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticket computer network statistics on September 22, The Intern attracted 33,849 moviegoers nationwide on September 21, successfully defending its top spot at the box office. Its cumulative audience stands at 437,744.

Having debuted at No. 1 in the box office upon its release on September 16, The Intern maintained its momentum through the weekend. However, as it entered its second week, daily attendance dropped to the 30,000 range. It is being chased by The Odyssey (daily audience of 32,938, cumulative 11,250,561), which is entering its seventh week of release, by a margin of about 900 viewers.

With new releases such as The Assassin(s), Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub, and Possible Love scheduled to premiere on September 23, its top position is in a precarious situation.

The Intern depicts an office life that transcends generations and job ranks, beginning when Keeho (played by Choi Minsik), a silver intern with 37 years of experience, joins the company of SUNOO (played by Han So-hee), who rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry three years after launching her brand.
