The record is on the same pace as box-office hits “Masquerade” (2012) and “Ode to My Father” (2014), which both crossed the coveted 10 million mark, its distributor CJ Entertainment said.
Directed by Jang Jae-hyun, “The Priests” stars Kim Yun-seok and Kang Dong-won as a priest and deacon, respectively, who decide to perform an exorcism to save a girl from danger. Rookie actress Park So-dam plays the girl possessed by a demon.
In this flick, Kim and Kang joined up for the first time in six years since their box-office hit “Woochi” in 2009.
