'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' topped the entire movie box office on its opening day.
According to the integrated theater ticketing system on the 1st, the film 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (directed by Lim Dae-hee, provided/distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Big Punch Pictures and Nova Film, abbreviated as Holy Night) claimed the top spot in the entire movie box office on its opening day, which was the 30th of last month.
'Holy Night' is an occult action film where the team BOW (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo Hyun), and Kim-gun (Lee Da-wit) combat a group of evil that has plunged the city into chaos, worshiping evil. 'Holy Night' topped the entire movie box office on its opening day, signaling a strong start to the box office race.
According to the integrated theater ticketing system, 'Holy Night' attracted 117,042 viewers on its opening day, recording a cumulative audience of 121,321, easily taking the top spot in the entire movie box office. This figure exceeds the opening scores of both 'Hitman 2' (100,621 viewers), which attracted more than 2.5 million viewers this year, and 'The Match' (91,471 viewers) and 'The Opposition' (85,659 viewers), drawing even more attention.
'The Old Woman with the Knife', among other new releases, has shown a strong presence, penetrating the fierce competition from notable films such as 'The Opposition' and 'Minecraft Movie.' Attention is focused on the emergence of 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' as a powerful dark horse to dominate the upcoming May golden holiday. Thus, Ma Dong-seok is expected to sweep the spring box office once again, continuing the successful formula established since 'The Outlaws 2' in May 2022, 'The Outlaws 3' in May 2023, and 'The Outlaws 4' in April 2024, right through to the screens in the spring of 2025.
Alongside this, the explosive reactions from actual viewers who watched 'Holy Night' are further igniting its box office momentum. “It was the first time I felt sorry for the demon getting beaten up” (CGV_New****), “If Ma Dong-seok is in it, fun is guaranteed” (CGV_so****), “As expected of Ma Dong-seok!!! Didn't disappoint” (CGV_se****), “Perfect for killing time” (CGV_s2****), “An explosion of dopamine with occult, action, and comedy all mixed together” (CGV_dhd****), “So refreshing, funny, and really good, super fun and very satisfying!” (CGV_jj****), “More scary and thrilling than I expected, and Ma Dong-seok's punches have gotten even stronger! Jung Ji-so's performance was so spine-chilling that it seems like the summer heat will retreat” (CGV_Gable****), and so on. The anticipation for the diverse cinematic experience that 'Holy Night' will provide during the upcoming May golden holiday continues to grow day by day.
