Breaking news from the Korean Film Council reveals that 'Hitman 2' thrilled 457,530 viewers across the nation from January 31st to February 2nd, seizing the coveted top spot at the box office during its first full weekend run.

Projected to hit the profitable mark today, with an estimated 2 million viewers already captivated by its gripping storyline, 'Hitman 2' is on a winning streak.
In a neck-to-neck race for second place, 'Dark Nuns' held its ground, enchanting 243,890 viewers during the same period, boosting its total viewership to 1,433,888. Despite a halved weekend audience compared to its opening weekend, the horror flick remains hopeful about reaching its break-even threshold of 1.6 million viewers, following a successful Lunar New Year turnout.
As the buzz around 'Hitman 2' escalates, the silver screen is set for a showdown between these two riveting films. Stay tuned for more updates!
