A South Korean box office hit continued breaking records with over 6 million viewers in the first 11 days of its release, official statistics showed Sunday.

“The Thieves,” featuring 10 Korean and Chinese thieves teaming up to steal a valuable diamond necklace at a Macao casino, drew 6.2 million viewers in the first 11 days until Saturday, data from the Korean Film Council showed.

The film directed by Choe Dong-hoon, who is known for “Tazza: The High Rollers” and “The Big Swindle,” has been drawing moviegoers at a faster pace than director Bong Jun-ho’s box-office hit “The Host.” (Yonhap News)
