- Box Office Record of R-rated Movies, Seen with INSIDE MEN
Inside Men marches on to make new records since its release on November 19th. It already attracted 1 million viewers in just 3 days upon release, breaking the record of the shortest time to reach 1 million admissions among the R-rated movies.Its box office success kept going on. Inside Men accommodated 490,000 viewers in just one single day on November 21st, breaking the record held by Tazza-The Hidden Card (2014) of the biggest one day audience of 475,000 among the R-rated movies. During the first week of release, Inside Men reached the best first week score among the R-rated movies with 1.6 million admissions. The previous record was 1.5 million held by A Frozen Flower (2008).The march did not stop there. Inside Men reached 4 million viewers on December 2nd, in just 14 days since release, which is at least 10 days faster than The Man From Nowhere (2010) and Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014). On December 7th, this film finally reached 5.01 million viewers, defeating New World (2013, 4.68 million admissions) and Nameless Gangster : Rules of the Time (2012, 4.72 million admissions), now with just The Chaser (2008, 5.04 million admissions) ahead.So far, Inside Men has broken all the shortest time records to reach 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 million viewers among all the R-rated movies released in Korea.The biggest box office record among the R-rated movies is Friend (2001, 8.18 million admissions) but it is not an official record observed by Korean Film Council (KOFIC). Since official counting has been made possible, the number one place is occupied by The Man From Nowhere of 6.18 million viewers, followed by Kingsman: The Secret Service of 6.13 million at the second place, and Tazza: the High Rollers (2006, 5.68 million viewers) and The Chaser at the 3rd and 4th places respectively.So, what would be the limit for Inside Men? It may be time for The Chaser to step down the throne.
