[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The film “Eyes,” starring Shin Min-a, has topped the box office, surpassing the Disney-Pixar animated film “Toy Story 5.” While “Toy Story 5” has maintained steady box office performance since its release, “Eyes” has taken the number one spot in daily box office rankings, introducing a new variable into the competition at the box office.

According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated computer network for movie theater admissions on the 2nd, “The Pupil” drew 49,098 viewers on the 1st, claiming the number one spot at the box office. Its cumulative audience stands at 432,137. Fueled by word of mouth, the film maintained a steady flow of viewers even on weekdays and finally climbed to the top.
“Toy Story 5,” which had held the top spot at the box office until then, drew 44,069 viewers that day and slipped to second place. Its cumulative audience stands at 1,744,108. However, it continues to lead in advance ticket sales, demonstrating its staying power. Currently, advance ticket sales stand at 61,078, putting it well ahead of *The Pupil* (36,884). There is a good chance it will reclaim the top spot once weekend audiences start pouring in.
The newly released “Marty Supreme” debuted in third place, drawing 19,985 viewers. Its cumulative attendance stands at 21,402. While it had a relatively solid start on opening day, word-of-mouth is expected to be the key to its box office success.
“The Swarm,” which has been enjoying a long-running success, also maintained its presence. It added 13,989 viewers on the day, bringing its cumulative total to 5,758,227 and securing fourth place at the box office. “Greenland 2: Migration” drew 8,165 viewers to rank fifth.
It appears that the competition for the top spot between “The Pupil” and “Toy Story 5” will continue for the time being. “The Eye” climbed to the top of the daily box office charts on the strength of positive reviews from actual moviegoers, while “Toy Story 5” continues its box office run thanks to high advance ticket sales and steady support from family audiences. With “Marty Supreme” joining the fray, competition in the theater industry this week is expected to intensify further, centered around these three films.
