Box office Grade Report of HWANG Jung-min
Although
Ode to My Father and
Veteran both went over 10 million viewers, HWANG has not been always this great in the box office. Except for
You Are My Sunshine (2005) which attracted 3.05 million viewers, most his films were better received by the critique than the box office. However, since
The Unjust (2010) which earned 2.77 million admissions, his profit making performance considerably grew better.
HWANG received 4.06 million viewers with
Dancing Queen in 2012, and the next year, he successfully sold 4.68 million tickets with
New World.
Fists of Legend (2013) and
Man In Love (2014) only earned 1.74 million and 1.98 million admissions respectively, but
Ode to My Father became his first 10 million viewer movie with 14.25 million movie goers, and a few months later, he showed another tremendous performance with
Veteran of 13.41 million viewers.
As of 23 January, 2016, the accumulated number of viewers for
The Himalayas is 7.61 million. On 3 February,
A Violent Prosecutor is to open, where he teamed up with
GANG Dong-won, followed by
Asura directed by
KIM Sung-soo and featuring, along with HWANG,
JUNG Woo-sung,
JU Ji-hoon and
KWAK Do-won, and
Battleship Island by
RYOO Seung-wan, where HWANG is to perform with
