The movie 'pilot' topped the Korean movie box office with a miraculous word-of-mouth box office score in the third week of its release.

According to the integrated computer network of movie theater tickets on the 19th, the movie 'pilot' remained at the top of the Korean movie box office with a cumulative audience of 3,886,375 as of 7 a.m. As a result, 'pilot' maintained the top spot in the Korean movie box office amid various competitions in the third week of its release, ranking first in the overall movie box office for two consecutive weeks and first in the Korean movie box office for three consecutive weeks. The box office success of 'pilot', which broke the final score of 'Wonka' last Saturday and ranked fourth in the overall movie box office in 2024, is expected to continue in the fourth week of its release.

Currently, 'pilot' is receiving a hot response not only from the 2030 core audience, but also from families and middle-aged audiences who visit theaters for the summer through stable word of mouth. If the fresh charm of Cho Jung-seok's drastic transformation was the initial word-of-mouth driving force, Lee Joo-myung, Han Seon-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho's shrewd acting ensemble and director Kim Han-kyul's realistic and empathetic comedy direction have been receiving great response since its release.



The audience who watched the movie 'pilot' `I don't think there's any other actor who can do this than Cho Jung-seok", "A movie full of fresh fun that makes me want to buy an eye that I haven't seen before", "A middle school kid likes it so much that I'm going to watch it for the third time"", "Cho Jung-seok comedy. I hope it will be released every summer once a year."", "It was nice to be in a cool theater in hot weather, but I was healed because I laughed a lot."", "It's a great acting ability of actors, it's good for a date movie, and it's easy to show your parents" are leaving high-satisfaction reviews."

Meanwhile, 'pilot' is a comedy that takes place when Han Jung-woo (Cho Jung-seok), who became unemployed overnight in the Star Pilot, succeeds in re-employment after a drastic transformation, and is being screened in theaters across the country.
