“The Pupil,” starring Shin Min-a, and Disney·Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” took fourth and fifth place, respectively, continuing their long-running box office success.
With major Hollywood blockbusters—including Marvel’s flagship superhero film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and director Christopher Nolan’s new film “The Odyssey”—set to hit theaters soon, all eyes are on whether “Hope” can maintain its box office momentum.
“Hope” tells the story of Beom-seok, the head of the Hopo Port branch office near the Demilitarized Zone, who, after receiving a report from local youths about a tiger sighting, is confronted with an unbelievable incident that shakes the entire village. Directed by Na Hong-jin, the film stars Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Taylor Russell, Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Cameron Britton.
