"Escape from Mogadishu," an action blockbuster by director Ryu Seung-wan, has become the most-viewed film this year to date, its distributor said Sunday.

배급사 롯데엔터테인먼트는 지난 일요일 류승완 감독의 액션 블록버스터 ‘모가디슈'가 올해 초부터 현재까지 가장 많은 관객을 모았다고 밝혔다.



The film posted over three million ticket purchases as of Sunday, on the 33rd day of its release, according to Lotte Entertainment. It outnumbered the previous No. 1, "Black Widow," released in July, which garnered around 2.95 million ticket sales.

롯데엔터테인먼트에 따르면 이 영화는 개봉 33일째인 일요일 기준 300만 관객을 돌파했다. 지난 7월 개봉한 1위 영화 ‘블랙 위도우'를 제치고 약 295만장의 티켓 판매고를 올렸다.



To celebrate this record, Ryu and the cast, including Kim Yoon-seok, Zo In-sung, Huh Joon-ho, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim So-jin and Jeong Man-sik, thanked fans for their support in photos of each actor holding a "thank you" note.

해당 기록을 기념하기 위해 배우 김윤석, 조인성, 허준호, 구교환, 김소진, 정만식 등 류승완 감독과 출연진은 한 명 한 명 감사 메시지를 들고 있는 사진을 통해 팬들의 성원에 감사 인사를 전했다.



Based on a true story, "Escape from Mogadishu" follows stranded South Korean and North Korea embassy workers who join forces to escape Somalia during the civil war in 1991.

실화를 바탕으로 한 ‘모가디슈'는 1991년 소말리아 내전 당시 소말리아를 탈출하기 위해 힘을 합친 남북 대사관 사람들의 좌초 과정을 나타낸다.



Meanwhile, "Hostage: Missing Celebrity," starring Hwang Jung-min, has topped the local weekend box office during its first two weeks of release, according to data from the Korean Film Council. It has sold over 1 million tickets since its release on Aug. 18.

한편 영화진흥위원회 자료에 따르면 황정민 주연의 ‘인질'이 개봉 2주 만에 국내 주말 박스오피스 1위를 차지했다. 이 영화는 지난 8월 18일 개봉 이후 100만 장 이상의 티켓이 팔렸다.



In the film, Hwang plays an abducted actor himself who tries to escape assailants using his wits, along with acting and combat skills he learned in acting school.

이 영화에서 배우 황정민은 연기 학교에서 배운 연기 및 액션 기술로 폭행범으로부터 재치 있게 탈출하려는 납치범을 연기한다.
