The movie Dark Nuns has begun its global box office run with remarkable success, topping the domestic box office during its opening week and securing the number one spot in Indonesia, where it premiered simultaneously.
Dark Nuns tells the story of individuals who perform a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. The movie attracted 160,000 viewers on its opening day and has maintained the top spot at the Korean box office for three consecutive days since its release.
In Indonesia, the film drew approximately 310,000 viewers during its first week, marking the best opening for any Korean film in the country. It also held the number one position at the Indonesian box office for three consecutive days.
The film has been praised for its intense drama and the characters' desperate struggle to save the boy from the evil spirit. Within three days, Dark Nuns reached 600,000 viewers in Korea, providing a boost to the domestic box office and contributing to market growth. Its dramatic, emotionally charged storyline has generated significant word-of-mouth buzz across all age groups. With the Lunar New Year holiday beginning on January 27, expectations are high for the film's continued strong performance.
Viewers of Dark Nuns have lauded the cast's compelling performances, especially those of Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Yeo Bin. Audience comments include:
"The acting was so chillingly good… it's not just another exorcism occult film. The message of people trying to save lives really resonated" (Naver_ly****).
"Song Hye Kyo overwhelmed with her gaze and expressions—her acting is insane! Jeon Yeo Bin's performance was also excellent. I cried with Michaela in the last scene" (Megabox_ch****).
"Moon Woo Jin's acting was unsettling. I always thought Jeon Yeo Bin was a good actress, but she has grown to the point where she can transcend genres. Of course, Song Hye Kyo was the best. Kim Gook Hee's performance was also great" (Megabox_최****).
With its continued success in both Korea and Indonesia, Dark Nuns is expected to sustain its momentum and attract more viewers.
