Taxi Driver, Battleship Island, Youth Police have hit million mark viewers.

The movie 'Taxi Driver' starring veteran actor Song Kang Ho have surpassed the 7 million viewers mark on the 11th day after it hit local screens in South Korea. 

Taxi Driver has proven to be recorded the shortest time among films released this year exceeding 7 million viewers. In addition to the struggle of the newest works, integrating computer network and various advance booking ranks in the advance booking rate. It is raising the expectation of the first 10 million viewers movie this year.

Due to the high expectations from A-list actors such as Song, Yoo Hae Jin, Ryu Jun Yeol and Thomas Kretschman, it is a story that brings laughter and touching moments with the director PD Jang Hoon. In 1980, a taxi driver Kim Man Seob from Seoul drove all the way to Gwangju for money and got himself involved with the Gwangju Democratisation Movement along with the German reporter. 

On the other hand, The Battleship Island has attracted the most attention as the best-anticipated movie this summer along with Taxi Driver. On the 12th, 40,749 people were seated daily and the number of cumulative audiences was 6,423,206. On the same day, the box office ranks fifth in the list, with only 2.5% of sales. Battleship Island has invested more than 20 billion won in production costs, has a break even point of 7 million viewers. However, if one include the marketing expenses, it is said that more than 8 million people will make a break-even point.

The two youthful actors Kang Ha Neul and Park Seo Joon in the comical movie Youth Police seems to be on a miserable state. On the 4th day, the number of cumulative audiences exceeded 1 million for Youth Police.
