From hit producer JK YOUN and his company JK Film (Haeundae, 2009; Ode to My Father), the film has already garnered 6.47 million admissions (USD 42.37 million) and is still the number one draw at the Korean box office.

 

The title will be distributed widely around the world, with deals already in place for 63 markets. The North American release stretches across 42 theaters and has so far grossed USD 256,901 and is currently playing in 25 theaters.

 

From New World (2013) director PARK Hoon-jung, The Tiger stars CHOI Min-shik as a hunter tracking down the last tiger on the Korean peninsula during the Colonial Era. In addition to America, the film will also be released in Australia by Full Brief Marketing, which previously released Gangnam Blues and Northern Limit Line.
