[Korea.net News, Culture / Events, March 16 2008] Ticket sales for local thriller movie top 4 mil.

Ticket sales for a local thriller movie have surpassed the 4-million-mark despite stiff competition from Hollywood blockbusters, the film’s distributor said Sunday (March 16).

Showbox-Mediaplex said "The Chaser" reported ticket sales surpassing the key milestone on Saturday after hitting the silver screen 31 days ago.

This, it said is eight days faster than "Forever the Moment", another recent release about Korea’s women handball squad in the 2004 Olympics. Forever the Moment is the only other locally-made movie to have reached the 4-million-mark this year.
