The local action-adventure movie "The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil" has outpaced "Avengers: Endgame" and rose to the top of the South Korean box office in its first weekend.
According to data from the Korean Film Council today, the film sold 1.11 million tickets from Friday to Sunday for a cumulative total of 1.48 million in its first week.
Starring Ma Dong-seok and Kim Mu-yeol, the movie is about a gangster and a police officer who team up to catch a serial killer for their own reasons.
It will be shown out of competition in the Midnight Screenings section at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
Marvel's latest blockbuster "Avengers: Endgame" dropped to the second spot for the first time since it hit the local screens on April 24th, garnering over 388,000 viewers over the three-day period to reach 13.45 million in total, the most tickets sold by a foreign movie in the country.■
