Meanwhile, the action-comedy “The Roundup'' starring Ma Dong-seok, and “Broker” starring Song Kang-ho, Gang Dong-won, and Lee Ji-eun each fell one place and ranked 2nd and 3rd.

Pixar Studio’s “Lightyear,” released on the same day as “The Witch: Part 2. The Other One,” brought more than 30,000 viewers and took 4th place.
