The zombie thriller "Colony" topped the weekend box-office chart, drawing more than 3 million admissions since its release, data showed Monday.
The Korean film had logged 3,474,934 accumulated admissions as of Sunday, adding 971,034 admissions over the weekend, according to the data released by the Korean Film Council, which compiles admissions from Friday through Sunday for its weekend chart.
It hit the 3-million milestone on its 10th day of release Saturday, faster than the 14 days it took the megahit "The King's Warden" (2026) to reach.
"Colony" is the latest zombie thriller from director Yeon Sang-ho, whose previous works include "Train to Busan" (2016). It follows biotechnology professor Se-jeong (Jun Ji-hyun) and a group of survivors who fight to escape a building quarantined due to a virus outbreak.
