Mofac Studio's animated film 'The King of Kings' has surpassed 'Parasite' by director Bong Joon Ho to become the highest-grossing South Korean film in the history of the U.S. box office. The announcement was made on April 28, with 'The King of Kings' accumulating $54.51 million in revenue, exceeding 'Parasite's' final U.S. box office earnings of $53.84 million. This feat was achieved within just three weeks since its release.

The film is expected to continue its successful run, especially with the increase in family viewership during the Easter holiday, which is anticipated to boost its box office performance significantly.

Directed and scripted by Mofac Studio's CEO Jang Sung Ho, 'The King of Kings' is inspired by Charles Dickens' 'The Life of Our Lord,' depicting the life of Jesus from his birth to resurrection through animation.

The voice talents of Hollywood stars like Pierce Brosnan, Oscar Isaac, Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, and Forest Whitaker contributed to the film's high production standards.

Following its U.S. debut, 'The King of Kings' opened at No. 2 in the box office, trailing behind the 'Minecraft Movie' featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa but sustained its popularity. The film has garnered positive reviews, receiving an A+ rating from CinemaScore based on viewer feedback.

The movie is set for a release in South Korea during the summer and is anticipated to attract considerable interest from the Korean audience after demonstrating success and quality in the U.S. market.
