Released in Hong Kong on July 31, 'Omniscient Reader's View' ranked No. 1 in the overall box office on the day of release, following Taiwan, which was released on July 23. Box office sales topped HK$3.1 million in the first week of its release, beating "Pillow," the highest number of South Korean films released since 2021.
"Omniscient Reader's View" was released on July 23 in Taiwan, surpassing the opening scores of "Along with the Gods: Crime and Punishment" and "The Tomb" to show off its unusual presence abroad. As of August 5, it has maintained its second place in the overall box office in Taiwan, and has been speeding up its long-term box office run by topping the box office among Korean films released in Taiwan in 2025.
「Omniscient Reader's View」, which proved keen interest abroad with pre-sales in 113 countries around the world before its release in Korea, meets with audiences from all over the world and delivers spectacular fun of K-fantasy action in the uncooled heat.
Meanwhile, 'Omniscient Reader's View' is a fantasy action film in which the world of the novel becomes a reality on the day the novel that has been serialized for more than a decade is completed, and Kim Dokja (Ahn Hyo-seop), the only reader, is playing with Yoo Joong-hyuk (Lee Min-ho), the protagonist of the novel, and his colleagues to survive in a destroyed world.
