With the break-even point (approximately 3.3 million viewers) just around the corner, this event strongly serves as a token of gratitude for the viewers' support.

Although "The Assassins" has surrendered the overall box office top spot to "Chiikawa The Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island," it firmly maintains its position at number one in the Korean film box office.
