Many saw it coming, but the movie [The Thieves] has just broken another record.
According to the movie's distributors, as of 5 PM on August 30th, [The Thieves] had attracted about 12,310,000 people. This brings its total higher than the 12,302,831 that the movie [The King And The Clown] brought in several years ago. Now the only movie between it and the #1 spot is [The Host], which was the highest grossing Korean film to date, with 13,019,740 viewers.
[The Thieves] was able to reach the 12.31 million mark in just 37 days after its release, which was a day faster than the movie [The Host].
The ultimate #2 highest grossing movie in Korea is about a group of 10 thieves from Korea and China, that are all after a very valuable diamond called "The Tear Of The Sun", held in a casino in Macau. The movie features an A-list cast of Kim Yoon-suk, Kim Hye-soo, Lee Jung-jae, Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Hye-sook, Oh Dal-soo, and Kim Soo-hyun.
