The film 'Intern' debuted at the top of the box office on its opening day.
According to the integrated ticket sales network on September 17, 'Intern' claimed the number one spot at the box office, surpassing the long-running 'Odyssey.' It became the first Korean film to reach the top of the box office in 50 days since 'Hope.'
'Intern' tells the story of Gi-ho (played by Choi Min-sik), a silver intern with 37 years of experience, who joins the company of Sun-woo (played by Han So-hee), a rising star in the fashion industry after three years. The film captures the office life of the two characters across generations and ranks.
Christopher Nolan's 'Odyssey' attracted over 41,000 viewers (28.8%) on the same day, securing the second position at the box office.
'Odyssey,' which had maintained the daily box office number one spot for six consecutive weeks since its release on August 5, has now ceded the top position to 'Intern.' It is the second film this year to surpass 10 million viewers, following 'The King and the Clown.'
