  ‘A Man Living with the King’ climbs to fifth on the all-time box office list. \/ Showbox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

By Lee Young-sil, SisaWeek<\/strong>  The film A Man Living with the King has crossed the 14 million admissions mark, rewriting box-office records in South Korea.<\/p>\n

On March 20, distributor Showbox said the film surpassed 14 million cumulative admissions on Korea’s integrated box-office tracking system that morning. The milestone came on its 45th day in theaters.<\/p>\n

With the new total, A Man Living with the King has overtaken Avengers: Endgame (2019, 13.97 million admissions) to move into fifth place on the all-time list. It is the fifth domestic release to pass 14 million admissions, following The Admiral: Roaring Currents (2014, 17.61 million), Extreme Job (2019, 16.26 million), Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (14.41 million) and Ode to My Father (2014, 14.26 million).<\/p>\n

Given its current momentum, the film could continue to climb. As of 5:40 p.m. that day, roughly 162,000 advance tickets had been sold, keeping the title near the top of pre-sale charts and putting a 15 million total well within reach.<\/p>\n

Released on Feb. 4, A Man Living with the King sustained a long theatrical run and became this year\u2019s first film to surpass 10 million admissions on March 6 \u2014 the 34th film overall and the 25th Korean title to hit the 10 million mark. It has continued to draw audiences steadily and now stands at 14 million admissions.<\/p>\n

Set in 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo, A Man Living with the King follows a village chief who volunteers for exile to revive his hometown and a young, deposed monarch also sent into exile. The film offers a fresh perspective on the familiar tragedy of King Danjong. Director Jang Hang-jun helms the project, with performances from Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae and Jeon Mi-do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
