The film 'Hope' (Director/Screenplay: Na Hong-jin | Production: Posed Films | Co-production: Plus M Entertainment, Westworld Inc. | Presented/Distributed by: Plus M Entertainment) surpassed 4 million viewers around midnight on August 2nd. Following 'The Man Who Lives with the King' and 'Collective,' 'Hope' became the third film released this year to break the 4 million viewer barrier, establishing itself as a representative blockbuster of the summer box office. After maintaining the top spot in Korean film reservation rates for 30 consecutive days, it achieved a remarkable reversal by recording a 44.3% seat occupancy rate on August 1st.
As over-immersion phenomena spread through viewers' voluntary word-of-mouth and interpretation sharing, enthusiasm for repeat viewings is also heating up. The film delivers a new sense of genre entertainment to audiences by combining sci-fi imagination and thrilling action with tense suspense and unexpected humor.
'Hope' tells the story of Bum-seok, the head of the Hopo Port branch office located in the demilitarized zone, who hears news of a tiger appearing from young men in the neighborhood and encounters an unbelievable reality amid emergency alerts sweeping through the entire village. 'Hope,' which has captivated the summer box office, is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
