SEOUL, April 8 (AJP) - Director Ryoo Seung-wan's latest film "Humint" claimed the top spot on Netflix's chart for non-English movies, just a week after becoming available on the global platform, following its theatrical flop in February.
According to Netflix's ranking site Tudum, the spy film garnered 11 million cumulative views in about a week after it began streaming last Wednesday, securing the top spot among non-English films.
The 119-minute film also took the top spot in more than a dozen countries and ranked in the top 10 in 67 countries worldwide.
"Humint" starring Park Hae-joon, Park Jung-min, Shin Se-kyung, and Zo In-sung revolves around a South Korean intelligence agent who hunts a drug ring in Russia and becomes entangled with a North Korean spy, pulling both into danger and hidden secrets.
First released in theaters on Feb. 11, the film attracted a mere 1.98 million moviegoers, well below the estimated 4 million needed to break even.
