'Firefighter' Dominates Box Office, Outshining Disney's 'Moana 2'

The film '소방관' (Firefighter) has successfully maintained its position at the top of the box office for three consecutive days, receiving positive reviews from audiences. As of December 7, 2024, the film, directed by 곽경택 and produced by 에스크로드 픽쳐스 and 아센디오, has captured the hearts of moviegoers this winter. With a ticket sales rate of 22.6%, 'Firefighter' is nearly doubling the performance of Disney's '모아나 2' (Moana 2).

The film's popularity is further reflected in its impressive CGV Golden Egg index, a key indicator of audience satisfaction, which has risen from 92% on its opening day to 94% by the third day, showcasing the film's strong word-of-mouth appeal. 'Firefighter' is not just a box office success; it tells a powerful true story that resonates with audiences of all ages, promising to be a significant hit this winter.

In a charitable initiative, the '119원 기부 챌린지' (119 Won Donation Challenge) has been launched, where 119 won from each ticket sold will be donated to improve the equipment and working conditions of firefighters in South Korea. The funds raised will support the National Fire Hospital, set to open in 2025. This initiative aims to create a positive impact and warm the hearts of many through the film's success.

'Firefighter' depicts the harrowing experiences of firefighters during the tragic Hongje-dong fire disaster in 2001, highlighting their dedication to saving lives under challenging conditions. The film is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
