Box-office hit ‘Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days’ passes 10 million audience mark
The sequel to 2017’s first film in fantasy series, ‘Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds’, takes only two weeks to exceed elusive target
It’s official. Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days is a box-office hit.
The fantasy has just made news as the latest film to cross the elusive 10 million attendance mark in South Korea, according to the film’s distributor, Lotte Entertainment.
And it took the film only two weeks – since its opening – to do so.
In Korea, the 10 million audience mark is the golden standard which all blockbusters hope to surpass: it is the benchmark against which a film’s mass-market appeal is measured.
Other Korean films that have crossed the same threshold include hits such as 2016’s Train to Busan, Veteran (2015), The Admiral (2014), and The Host (2006).
International films that have also enjoyed similar popularity in Korea include Frozen (2013), Avatar (2009) and, most recently, Avengers: Infinity War (2018).
