The latest Spider-Man film has become the fastest film of 2026 to attract 2 million moviegoers in South Korea, reaching the milestone just three days after its release, the film's local distributor said Saturday.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day," the fourth installment starring Tom Holland, hit the 2 million mark Saturday morning, its local distributor, Sony Pictures, said.
The achievement beat the previous record for the year set by Na Hong-jin's sci-fi thriller "Hope," which took four days to reach the same threshold after its release on July 15.
According to the distributor, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" also became the fastest foreign film released in South Korea since 2023 to reach 2 million admissions.
