‘Exhuma’ makes history as FIRST Korean occult horror film to cross 10 million moviegoer milestone

‘Exhuma’ continues its relentless march to box office glory, shattering records and engrossing audiences across South Korea. The latest milestone for the star-studded occult horror film was announced on March 24 by the Korean Film Council, as it proclaimed that ‘Exhuma’ had surged past the threshold of 10 million moviegoers. What's even more astonishing is that the film achieved this feat while maintaining its iron grip on the No.1 position at the box office for an impressive 31 consecutive days.
'Exhuma’ etches its name in history as not only the first film of 2024 to breach the 10 million viewers mark but also as the pioneer Korean occult horror film to achieve such unprecedented success. Standing as the 23rd Korean film in box office history to achieve this monumental milestone, ‘Exhuma’ accomplished the remarkable feat in a lightning-fast time frame of fewer than 32 days.
To celebrate this achievement, the director and cast of ‘Exhuma’ gathered in a jubilant ceremony, with a cake meticulously crafted to mirror the eerie essence of the film—a hauntingly decorated grave adorned with skulls, shovels, snakes, and leafless trees.
At its core, ‘Exhuma’ weaves a spellbinding tale of intrigue and suspense, following the journey of two exorcists portrayed by Kim Go Eun and Lee Do Hyun, alongside a mortician played by Yoo Hae Jin, and a feng shui master portrayed by Choi Min Sik. Together, they decide to relocate mysterious graves in exchange for a hefty sum of money.
