SEOUL, July 28 (Yonhap) -- The latest South Korean blockbuster, reported to be the nation's highest budget film, has attracted four million viewers in the first 11 days of its release, the film's distributor said Monday.
According to CJ Entertainment, "The Good The Bad The Weird," starring well-known Korean actors Lee Byung-hun, Song Kang-ho and Jung Woo-sung, drew 4.13 million viewers on 954 screens across the country as of Sunday.
The movie became the fourth Korean movie this year to cross the 4 million mark, following "Forever the Moment," "The Chaser," and "Public Enemy Returns."
"The Good...," directed by Kim Ji-woon, one of the few South Korean directors to have clinched both commercial success and critical acclaim, was anticipated to be the hottest pick of the South Korean box office this summer.
