‘Joker’ has landed in Korea.

Early in the morning of May 31, movie theaters across the country were crowded with audiences, even though it was early morning hours. This was the first time something like this had happened, and because there was so much fuss, reporters and various news teams came to the movie theater and filmed it.

“This is a movie theater in Gangnam. It’s morning, but as you can see, there’s a real scene happening, with a lot of people lining up at the entrance. Watch the movie ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’

Of course, this was something that was predicted in advance. Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Academy Award’ for Best Actor, director Ahn Ga-bok’s Best Director, and even Best Picture. This is the first day in about a month that ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’, which shocked not only Korea but also the world, was released.

How fun would it be? How amazing would it be?

Audiences from all over the country flocked to the movie theaters with soaring expectations. Although it was a weekday, all time slots including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon were sold out. The only time there was room left was late at night.

like that.

“Uh-huh, look at this person, he’s really popular.”

“Is this true that the audience seats are almost full for the early morning show?”

“But of course, ‘Clierot’ swept the Academy Awards and was completely sold out in the U.S. when it was first released, so just shut up and watch this movie.”

“It’s going to be crazy, right?? Start quickly.”

Numerous audiences who sat at the first screening of ‘Cierrot’ in Korea were excited for the movie to start on the screen as soon as possible, even as they gasped in laughter at the packed audience.

After waiting for 10 minutes, which felt like an hour.

-Soooo

“Here we go.”

‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ began to be displayed on the large screen. Soon, the audience was able to enjoy Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Joker’. The ‘Joker’ has a cigarette in his mouth, red hair, a pale face, and thick red lips that are all torn apart.

-[“Kkkkkkk! Hahahaha, hahahaha!”]

His wry yet cheerful laughter echoed throughout the theater.

-[“Hee hee hee, hahahahahahahahaha!”]

At this, everyone in the audience swallowed their saliva. Although I expected it, when I actually saw the movie, the visuals were several times more unconventional than I had imagined. It was the ‘Joker’ that had already conquered Hollywood, and Korea was quickly affected as well.

That destructive power was revealed immediately after the first episode of ‘Cierrot’ ended.

Korea was rocked all day long with ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’.

Kang Woo-jin in LA was also checking or receiving information about this situation in real time. Although he seemed indifferent due to the concept, he smiled happily on the inside.

‘Good, good, the reviews are very good. Oh, I’m curious about the number of viewers? It’s all sold out, so it looks like there’s going to be an all-time high, but I’ll have to check tomorrow.’

Then, a day later, on June 1st, the first-day opening results of ‘Pierrot’ were announced in large format in Korea.

『[Breaking News] ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ exceeds 1 million viewers in just one day!』

‘Clierot’ achieved the miracle of exceeding 1 million viewers per day. To be exact, 1.04 million. ‘Leech’, currently ranked 1st to 3rd among Korean movies of all time. It easily surpasses the first-day performance of ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Daytime Parasite’.

However, this was just the beginning.

『’Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’, which surpassed 1 million views upon its release in Korea, is now expanding worldwide!』

From here on, it was released not only in Korea but around the world.

backwards.

While Kang Woo-jin was concentrating on the final stages of filming ‘John Persona’, ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ began to be released in movie theaters around the world as predicted. It was said that ‘Joker’ was seen in about 40 countries, including Korea, where it started, as well as the United States, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.

Media from overseas countries are going crazy.

‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’ has been very popular in the past due to its abundance of issues and topicality, and because it set off a nuclear bomb at the ‘Academy Awards’, the reservation rate for ‘Clierrot’ was incredible regardless of which country it was. .

『CNM/’Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ screening begins, sold out to the overwhelming audience! Will the previous records be broken?』

The world, including Hollywood, focused on the performance of ‘Cierrot’. With this absurd trend and level of interest, it was poised to easily break box office records that had remained unchanged until now. Naturally, ‘Columbia Studio’ and Kang Woo-jin also had high expectations. And it didn’t take long for ‘Cierrot’ to announce its overwhelming success.

‘Clierot’ was released in just 5 days.

『LA TIME/Great record! ‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ exceeds $1 billion worldwide on the 5th day of release!』

『BBX/’Joker’ was popular all over the world! ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ becomes a box office sensation, exceeding $1 billion

『ABY/Earned $1 billion in just 5 days of release and has already ranked 15th in box office hits of all time! ‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ box office hit is scary』

It showed tremendous power, exceeding 1 billion dollars. This was a higher figure than expected by various media outlets before release, and considering that it was only 5 days since release, it was already an absurd feat. It even ranked in the top 10 among Hollywood’s all-time box office hits in just 5 days.

Tremendous speed.

Kang Woo-jin could not help but be shocked when he heard these results. To the point where the concept is slightly broken.

‘1 billion dollars???!! How much is 1 billion dollars? Ehhh?!! group 1??! 1 trillion?!’

An amount I have never seen before in my life. For reference, the total production cost of ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ was approximately a little over 200 million dollars. Even after recouping the production costs, it was already overflowing. Even though it is structured to make the most money in the beginning, $1 billion in the 5th day of release is an all-time record.

Subsequently, ‘Clierot’ surpassed $1.3 billion on the 7th day.

『‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ surpasses NT/1.3 billion dollars, ranks 10th in global box office!』

It surpassed $1.5 billion on the 8th day and a whopping $1.6 billion on the 10th, ranking 6th in the world’s all-time box office hit. The money was over 2 trillion won, and Kang Woo-jin, who had no sense of reality, wondered if there was something to it as the box office success soared day by day.

‘……Two trillion?’

It’s already been 10 days since its release in Korea.

『Clillero: Birth of a Villain’ exceeds 1 million viewers within 10 days of its release…the fastest in history!』

The number of viewers had reached 10 million.

While ‘Clierot’ was turning the world upside down, the next bullets were also being loaded as if that wasn’t the end. In ‘The Beast and Beauty’, teams including Kang Woo-jin and Miley Kara gathered together to conduct the first test preview. Woojin’s curiosity surged as he saw the image of ‘The Beast’ on the medium-sized screen.

‘Whoa, CG Quill is crazy!’

The tight tights she had been wearing were everywhere, and only ‘Beast’ and ‘Beautiful Bella’ were being printed. Even if you viewed it as an audience member full of memories of the original film, rather than as an actor who played ‘The Beast’, the live-action version of ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was quite well-received.

Afterwards, when the test preview ended, there was loud applause.

– clap clap clap clap

The quality of ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was selected as amazing, and it was meant as a high praise for ‘Clierrot’, which has recently been showing crazy box office success. Miley Cara also showed off her affection for her boyfriend, who they haven’t seen much of since they were busy recently.

“Congratulations, sincerely. I think ‘Clierrot’ will continue to do well for a while. Why don’t you buy me something delicious?”

‘Delicious food’ is an excuse and they say they should go on a date. Kang Woo-jin responded as if asking, “Is that such a big deal when there are over 2 trillion?”

“Let’s go to Korea, have you been to Jeju Island? “Once your schedule becomes easier, I’ll cook you something delicious at the villa I bought.”

“Are you trying out your private jet?”

“huh.”

Then, as mid-June passed, ‘Clierot’ entered its 20th day of release, and its box office performance was impressive.

『LA TIME/Finally surpassed 2 billion dollars. ‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ is breaking various records!』

Exceeded 2 billion dollars.

It was a ridiculous success considering it was less than a month old. Soon, the world listed the various records that ‘Pierrot’ had achieved to date.

『ABY/Records achieved by ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ exceeding 2 billion dollars』

-[‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’, which swept the Academy Awards, is causing a box office sensation around the world. The world fell in love with Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Joker’, and it is no exaggeration to say that ‘Columbia Studios’ ‘Cinematic Universe’ achieved tremendous success.] [Currently, ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ has achieved more than one or two records. 3rd place in world box office history to date, 1st place in world box office history by 2023, exceeded 1 billion dollars in the shortest period, exceeded 2 billion dollars in the shortest period, 1st place in world box office opening history… … … … … … ]

These records were enough to become a legend, and Kang Woo-jin established himself as a formidable ‘world star’ in name and reality.

‘The Beast and the Beauty’, which had just completed its test previews, had to be released with aggressive marketing and promotions, but the release date had to be confirmed, but it had no choice but to be slightly delayed. Because the ‘clown’s’ superpowers were so great.

However, the movie ‘Guest’, which started filming, accelerated without delay.

“Kang Woo-jin! Please take care of me!”

“Yes, thank you.”

The filming of Kang Woo-jin’s special appearance also proceeded without any problems. Well, the appearance of the star caused an uproar among the 100 or so staff members throughout the filming.

Meanwhile, ‘Columbia Studio’, which is celebrating the legendary success of ‘Cierrot’, hastened the production of ‘Bat: Birth of a Hero’, which is no different from the second story of ‘Joker’. The prelude to the ‘Cinematic Universe’ that people risked their lives for was a huge hit, so it was a natural trend.

『BBX/’Clierot: Birth of a Villain’, which exceeded 2.5 billion dollars, eventually took the second place in the all-time box office hit』

It ranked second in world box office history.

At this moment, Kang Woo-jin was feeling it desperately.

‘Three trillion… … … … … … Fuck, 3 trillion??!’

The fact that it is a hit not only in Korea but all over the world means the power of ‘EX+++ level’ measured by Aspace. However, up to this point, it was only a box office success related to the release. ‘Columbia Studios’ said that it would be sold to numerous places even after its release. In other words, we are now halfway there.

‘Wow, shit, seriously, the ‘EX+++ level’ was bullshit!!’

Kang Woo-jin’s bank account was already exploding due to the legendary success of ‘Cierrot’, and it was said that the figures would continue to pile up every second.

Second week of July.
