The comedy film 'pilot' (directed by Kim Hangyul, produced by Short Cake and Movie Rock) attracted 370,000 viewers on the first day of its release, heralding a good start to No. 1 in the box office.

Based on the integrated computer network of movie theater tickets on the 1st, Pilot attracted 373,548 people (425,079 cumulative including previews) on the 31st of last month, the first day of its release, recording the highest opening score among this summer's films. This is notable for surpassing the opening record (331,188) of the 10 million box office hit 'Pillow' in 2024 and the opening record (318,084) of the top box office hit 'Pillow' in the summer of 2023. It is 'pilot', which provided a refreshing smile to the heat-weary audience and created a cooler word-of-mouth wind in the theater.

'pilot' was Cho Jung-seok's first comedy film in five years since 'Exit'. It is well-made comedy with a solid production of director Kim Han-gyeol and is receiving favorable reviews. Attention is focusing on what new records 'pilot', which was coolly launched by receiving enthusiastic responses from various audiences of all generations and genders, will write as a powerful comedy film that will hit theaters in the summer.

'Pilot' is a story about a man who became unemployed overnight in a star pilot and succeeded in re-employment after a drastic transformation. Cho Jung-seok, Lee Joo-myung, Han Seon-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho appeared, and director Kim Han-kyul of 「Most Ordinary Love」 took the megaphone. It will be released on the 31st.
