SEOUL, August 29 (Yonhap) -- The comedy film "6/45" just had its first weekend after its release, and it is chasing the back of the movie "Hunt," a spy action movie starring Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung. 

According to a Monday study conducted by the Korean Film Council integrated computer network for movie tickets, "Hunt" drew 369,000 viewers (33.0% of total sales) over the weekend (August 26 to 28) and topped the Korean box office for three weeks in a row. Until Sunday, the cumulative number of viewers was 3.72 million.

"6/45" had ten thousand fewer viewers than "Hunt," which had 355,000 viewers (31.6% of total sales) and ranked second on the chart. The film "6/45", starring Go Kyung-pyo and Lee Yi-kyung, is about a lottery with a winning prize of 5.7 billion won that is blown to North Korea by the wind.

"Hansan: Rising Dragon," which ranked third behind "6/45," had 157,000 audience over the past three days (12.2% of overall sales), surpassing 7 million cumulative audiences. 

The movie "Bullet Train", starring Brad Pitt, had  52,000 audience on the first weekend of its release (5.1% of overall sales) and ranked fifth. The movie could not get over "Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2)", starring Tom Cruise. Top Gun ranked fourth in the chart despite it was the tenth week after the release, with 60,000 audience (5.9% overall sales). 

Movies released on August 25, Japanese animation "Demon Slayer: Asakusa" had 10,000 audience (1.0%) ranking eight, and "The World's Worst Man," directed by Joakim Trier, had  7,000 audience (0.7%) ranking tenth.
