Action movie "Deliver Us From Evil" has topped the local box office for four consecutive days as of Sunday, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC).
The council said Sunday that the film had drawn more than 560,000 theatergoers on Saturday, outperforming the action flick "Steel Rain2: Summit" and the zombie thriller "Peninsula," which sold more than 81,000 and 40,000 tickets, respectively, on the same day.
As of Sunday, Deliver Us From Evil has attracted 1.5 million filmgoers since its premiere on Aug. 5.
The star-studded movie revolves around hitman In-nam ― played by Hwang Jung-min ― who is chased by villain Ray ― played by Lee Jung-jae. The two co-starred in the 2013 hit crime drama "New World."
The movie is directed by Hong Won-chan, who was behind the success of the thriller "Office" (2014).
"Deliver Us From Evil is a story of characters who are living in cold and heartless world," he said in a recent interview.
