SEOUL, May 26 (Yonhap) -- The action blockbuster Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, starring Tom Cruise, continued its dominance at the South Korean box office over the weekend, securing the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive week.
According to data from the Korean Film Council's box office information system released Monday, the Christopher McQuarrie-directed film drew some 687,000 moviegoers from May 23 to 25, accounting for 64.7 percent of total ticket sales.
The film far outpaced its closest competitor, Disney’s live-action remake Lilo & Stitch, which attracted about 157,000 viewers (14.1 percent) during the same period.
However, compared to its opening weekend, the film saw a slight drop in attendance. Upon its release on May 17, Mission: Impossible 8 had drawn 758,000 moviegoers in just two days.
The film’s cumulative admissions have surpassed 1.83 million, and it is expected to cross the 2 million mark later this week.
Director Hwang Byung-kook’s political drama Yadang maintained strong performance in its fifth week, drawing around 61,000 viewers (5.7 percent) to place third. Its cumulative audience has reached approximately 3.32 million.
Rounding out the top five were the adventure film Minecraft: The Movie, starring Jack Black, with 26,000 viewers (2.3 percent), and the Korean action film Broken (tentative title), led by Lee Hye-young, with 19,000 viewers (1.9 percent).
A controversial documentary, Rigged Election: Work of God?, debuted in sixth place with around 15,000 viewers (1.4 percent). Directed by former current affairs producer Lee Young-don and produced by Korean history lecturer Jeon Han-gil, the film alleges election fraud and recently drew attention after former President Yoon Seok-youl was reported to have watched it.
