It became the fifth Korean film this year to draw more than 4 million moviegoers after "Miracle in Cell No.7", "The Berlin File", "New World" and "Secretly and Greatly".

Amid strong competition from "Mr. Go", which was released last Wednesday, and Hollywood blockbusters such as "Pacific Rim" and "World War Z" -- the latter recently drew over 5 million viewers, "Cold Eyes" remains popular even on weekdays.

"Cold Eyes" is an action movie that revolves around a group of detectives who track down high-profile criminals.
