[HanCinema's News] "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" Breaks Three Million in Seven Days

After it's first seven days in the box office "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos has cracked the three million viewer mark, emerging as the clear winner of the Korean Thanksgiving weekend. Its current speed is comparable to "The Face Reader" and "The Fortress", the two histrorically highest performing movies on the Korean Thanksgiving weekend.

This offers little insight as to the long-term viability of "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos", since in the long run "The Face Reader" and "The Fortress" had very different fates. While "The Face Reader" achieved over nine million admissions, "The Fortress" couldn't even get over four million, as the movie was quickly eclipsed by the surprise hit "The Outlaws" which, like "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" was an action crime thriller headlined by Ma Dong-seok.

The poker themed "Tazza: One Eyed Jack" has hit two million viewers, while "Cheer Up Mister Lee" has passed the one million viewer mark. All three of these films face tough competition from major foreign releases. As of this writing "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" is the only one to continue to hold strong ratings in online reservations compared to the competition.
