The Eyes, starring Shin Min-a, rose to the top of the South Korean box office on Wednesday, overtaking Toy Story 5 after a week of steadily building momentum through positive audience response.
According to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC), The Eyes sold 49,098 tickets on July 1 to finish first at the daily box office. Its cumulative admissions climbed to 432,137.
The result marks a notable milestone for the suspense thriller. On its eighth day in release, the film exceeded its opening-day attendance of 34,938, signaling growing audience demand rather than the typical post-opening decline. The strong hold also positions the film well heading into the weekend.
The film follows Seo-jin, whose vision is gradually deteriorating because of a hereditary eye disease. As she investigates the mysterious death of her twin sister, she uncovers a truth that forces her to confront both her family's past and her own fate.
Toy Story 5 slipped to second place after leading the Korean box office for two straight weeks. The Disney-Pixar hit added 44,069 admissions on Wednesday, lifting its cumulative total to 1,744,108.
Starring Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme debuted in third place with 19,985 admissions on opening day. Including preview screenings, the film launched with a cumulative total of 21,402 admissions.
The sports drama follows Marty Mouser, an overlooked young man whose relentless pursuit of greatness pushes him into increasingly extreme circumstances.
Colony ranked fourth with 13,989 admissions, bringing its cumulative total to 5,758,227.
The infection thriller stars Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rok and Ko Soo.
Disaster sequel Greenland 2: Migration opened in fifth place with 8,165 admissions, reaching 8,563 admissions including previews.
