2. Gyeongju Trip Plot Summary (No Spoilers!)

 

Gyeongju, the youngest who left on a school trip 8 years ago and never returned Mom Ok-sil and her three daughters, Jang-ju, Young-ju, and Dong-ju, even wear matching t-shirts for Gyeongju's birthday and set off on a family trip to Gyeongju. However, there is a strange man in the trunk of this seemingly harmonious van. Just like the tagline "Travel is an alibi, the purpose is revenge," a family trip to kill according to plan begins.

4. Gyeongju Trip: The Break-Even Point, What Is It Really?

Actually, this is probably what you are most curious about, so to start with the conclusion, as of today The break-even point audience count officially announced by Lotte Entertainment or the production company has not yet been confirmed. On Namuwiki The net production cost is approximately 3 billion won. It is mentioned as such, but since this is not an official announcement, I think it would be best to view it only for reference.

 

Typically, the break-even point for a Korean film is 'Total production cost (net production cost + marketing cost) ÷ Average distribution revenue (around 4,000 won per ticket)' It is calculated as such, but unless the exact total production cost is disclosed, the figures currently being released are all just estimates.

 

For reference, there was a heartwarming anecdote at the production press conference where the venue erupted in laughter when Director Kim Mi-jo mentioned "70 million" as the target audience; this is because my father [does this] every holiday "Journey to Gyeongju" hits 70 million viewers I heard it was a joking reply saying they would write that, so it’s not the actual target figure 😂

 

 

5. What is the advance ticket reservation rate for the first week of release?

It was unusual even before the release. It ranked first in advance ticket sales for Korean films on August 18, fourth on August 19, and third overall on August 23 with 30,863 advance ticket buyers (5.1% reservation rate). I went up.

 

same period 'Odyssey' remains the overwhelming No. 1 (70% advance booking rate) Protecting, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is 2nd place Given the current situation, it can be said that they are performing well amidst it. Since stage greetings are scheduled at various theaters in Seoul from September 5th to 6th, the second week of release, I think we will have to wait a few more days after the launch to see the actual box office results.
