“The Roundup: Punishment,” which is shattering records left and right, has now had 10 million screenings!
The Korean Film Council declared on May 15 that “The Roundup: Punishment” has officially topped a total of 10 million moviegoers at the Korean box office as of 7:30 a.m. KST that morning. It only took the movie 22 days after its April 24 premiere to reach this incredible milestone.
This accomplishment also represents a number of noteworthy firsts: it’s the quickest movie of 2024 to gross over 10 million tickets; it’s the first Korean film series to have three consecutive films gross over 10 million tickets (“The Roundup” [“The Outlaws 2”], “The Roundup: No Way Out,” and now “The Roundup: Punishment”); additionally, it’s the quickest movie in the entire “The Outlaws” series to accomplish this feat.
Remarkably, “The Roundup: Punishment” is the second Korean film to gain 10 million viewers in the quickest amount of time—only surpassed by the 2019 comedic blockbuster “Extreme Job,” which did so in 15 days. In addition, this is only the 24th Korean film in history to achieve this noteworthy milestone at the box office.
Congrats to the whole cast and crew of the movie!
