Don Lee's Actioner "The Roundup: Punishment" Attracts 1 Million+ Moviegoers on 2nd Day of Release

The Roundup: Punishment surpassed 1.33 million moviegoers on its second day of release.  

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network for movie tickets, the action K-movie The Roundup: Punishment, which premiered on April 24, attracted 821,615 viewers on its first day and 473,050 viewers to theaters on its second day, securing the top spot on the domestic box office.  

As weekend cinema admissions exceed weekdays by more than double on average, it is highly anticipated that the film will easily surpass 3 million viewers on its opening weekend, given its pace in the premiere week. 

The Roundup: Punishment had the highest box office opening in the movie series' history, placing it fourth among all Korean films in terms of high movie admissions upon premiere. 

If The Roundup: Punishment continues to set new records, it can smoothly join the ten million club following The Roundup and The Roundup: No Way Out. Anticipation also surrounds whether this fourth installment can establish a new record for the series' highest moviegoers count.

The Roundup: Punishment follows the story of detective Ma Seok Do (Ma Dong Seok, aka Don Lee), who fights against Baek Chang Ki (Kim Mu Yeol), a former mercenary leading a large-scale illegal online gambling organization, and IT genius Jang Dong Cheol (Lee Dong Hwi).
