The comic action film 『High Five" (directed by Kang Hyung-chul, produced by Annapurna Film) topped the box office in the entire opening week.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated movie theater admission network on the 2nd, 'High Five' ranked first in the overall box office by mobilizing 383,334 people from the 30th of last month, the first weekend of its release, to the 1st of this month. The cumulative audience for 'HighFive' is 395,505. During the same period, 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning' came in second with 370,874 (cumulative 2,472,383) and 'Soju War' came in third with 131,646 (cumulative 136,183).

'High Five', which was ranked first in the overall box office on May 30, the release date, came in second after 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning' on the 31st, but was surprised to regain the top spot in the overall box office on June 1 thanks to the explosive reaction of the audience.




'High Five', which ranked first in seat sales among the same release, not only recorded high seat sales every day from the release date, but also attracted a larger audience on Sundays, when the number of audiences is usually lower than on Saturdays. In addition, it remains at the top of the reservation rate despite the competitive situation, raising expectations for its future box office success.
