The movie ‘Berlin File’ by director Ryoo Seung Wan ranked No. 1 at the box office by luring over 1.53 million moviegoers in the first weekend of its release on January 30.

The film has attracted more than 2.24 million viewers so far, hitting the 2 million mark in the shortest time of any films released in January or February, the low season for movies.

CJ Entertainment, the distributor of the action flick, expects ‘Berlin File’ to keep its strong showing this week during the lunar New Year’s holiday.

The movie drew attention even before its release due to the star-studded lineup featuring Jeon Ji Hyun, Han Suk Kyoo, Ha Jung Woo and Ryoo Seung Bum. The flamboyant action scenes are apparently a particular draw.
