Please increase the number of screenings...The power of art buster that filled the 74th stage greeting in the first week of the department



Word of mouth is scary. The audience's enthusiastic response to the action film 'Fagua' (directed by Min Kyu-dong, produced by Soo Films) is unusual.

According to the integrated computer network of movie theater tickets on the 6th, "Far of Fire" topped the list of Korean movie tickets released at the same time, surpassing the competition "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" released on the same day with a 9.9 percent reservation rate (21.3 percent in Korean movie standards). In addition, the spring theater is driving backwards, with a 12.1% reservation rate and 18,287 reservation visitors, beating the top-ranked 'opposition ' (director Hwang Byung-guk).

This is the result of the unique action drama 'Fagua' showing its potential as a genre movie. The movie proved to be one of the hottest on-the-spot films among moviegoers, and the reservation rate is on the rise thanks to the continuous favorable reviews despite the inferiority of the number of screens. It is also expected that the movie will attract more viewers in the second week than in the first week due to word of mouth.




In fact, 'Fagua' maintains the Golden Egg Index, which is an actual viewing index that is analyzed as a CGV's box office index, at 93%. Compared to the pre-expected index of 99%, the preliminary expectation index, which did not make a significant difference, 'break', proves that the expectations of actual visitors are as satisfactory as expected.

Sculpture Lee Hye-young, who turned into a legendary 63-year-old killer, mysterious killer bullfighting Kim Sung-chul, veterinarian Kang who saved the sculpture, Yeon Woo-jin, and director Mingyu-dong have been playing a big booster role in audience word of mouth since the first week of release. During the Golden Week, which led to Children's Day and Buddha's Birthday, the main characters of 'Fagua' held 74 stage greetings. The main characters who visited four cities from May 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In particular, directors Kim Seong-cheol, Yeon Woo-jin, and Mingyu-dong attended the performance greeting ceremony held at Megabox Mokdong in Seoul on May 6 and filled the theater without an empty auditorium. The theater, which used to be empty, is 'Fagua' that led the 'peak season atmosphere'.

Viewers who watched the movie are saddened by the fact that humans cannot live alone but can become a family with only one concern for each other! I watched the third round and it was fun without getting tired of it. The ending credit song is also so perfect'(Megabox_Ca********) and is receiving a lot of praise.




Attention is focusing on whether the well-made art buster with solid production, hot performance, action, and story will be able to create a new miracle beyond the reverse driving, leading the Nth viewing craze with hot reactions online.
