Today made it three days since Train to Busan opened in Korea, and the numbers finally came in. There had been such a heavy crowd that they didn't have an exact figure until now. It was a well-detailed report because it came directly from the major cinema chains and the distribution tracking team, with every region broken down and every ticket counted.
They sat in Dayo's office that night.
Min-Jae was there.
Jang-Wook was there.
The screen was on, the report was open, and the room was quiet for a moment because nobody wanted to talk too early and spoil the feeling.
Although they already knew the movie sold well, they didn't know how well.
The first line everyone looked at was the budget.
The investment was nine million dollars, and in Korean won that was about thirteen point one eight billion won.
Then the next lines hit harder.
Because the movie had already crossed the point where people stopped saying "good opening" and started saying "phenomenon."
