‘Colony’ Surpasses 5 Million Viewers, Tops Weekend Box Office for 4 Consecutive Weeks

The movie "Colony" has topped the weekend box office for four consecutive weeks.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network for movie theater tickets on June 15, "Colony" attracted 301,052 viewers nationwide from June 12 to 14, maintaining its number one spot at the weekend box office. The cumulative number of viewers stands at 5,212,823. Since its release on May 21, "Colony" has not once relinquished the top spot at the box office, surpassing 5 million viewers in just 24 days. With this, it has become the second film released this year to reach the 5 million mark, following "The Man Who Lives with the King."

During this period, the offensive from new releases such as "Backrooms," "Wild Things," and "Disclosure Day" was significant. However, "Colony" raised audience expectations as a long-awaited large-scale Korean production, and the effect of its invitation to the Cannes Film Festival led to explosive audience turnout from the beginning of its release.

Although a downward trend is evident as it enters its fourth week, the new releases lacked the momentum to surpass "Colony." At the current pace, it is expected that "Colony" could even surpass 6 million viewers.
