New thriller “Accomplices” Takes No. 1 at Korean Box Office

New Korean thriller film “Accomplices” is on the brink of reaching one million moviegoers at korean box office this week.

This movie has created such buzz at the box office since its debut last week.

The Son Ye-jin and Kim Kap-soo starrer brought in some 919,273 moviegoers in its opening week from opening on October 24 to 29, the Korean Box Office Information System (KOBIS) showed on 30th oct.

Last week’s chart-topper “Gravity,” Hollywood SF film directed by film auteur Alfonso Cuaron, slid down to No. 2 with 580,000 ticket sales in its second week of running.

Yeo Jin-goo’s thriller film “Hwayi: A Monster Boy” also took one step down to number three after attracting 169,000 moviegoers, while true-story-turned-film “Wish” ranked at No. 4 with a ticket sales of 145,000 in the same time frame.

Rounding off the top five is U.S. action drama “Captain Phillips,” which climbed up four steps by grabbing 99,000 moviegoers over the weekend.

Other popular movies last weekend were actor Park Joong-hun’s directorial debut feature “Top Star,” idol group MBLAQ’s Lee Joon’s first major film “Rough Play,” actor Ha Jung-woo’s first self-directed comedy “Roller Coaster,” comedy film “Queen of Night” and Hollywood animation “Despicable Me 2.”
