According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing system (KOBIS) on the 18th, 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' attracted 424,942 viewers on its opening day, the 17th, securing the number one spot at the box office.

This score significantly surpasses the first-day audience of last year's highest-grossing film 'The Roundup', which had 330,118 viewers. The highly anticipated film 'Mickey 17', directed by Bong Joon-ho, attracted 248,047 viewers on its opening day earlier this year.

Additionally, it outperformed the opening scores of 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' (which had 264,719 viewers on its opening day) and 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' (which had 229,753 viewers on its opening day), both of which attracted 7.5 million viewers.

Meanwhile, 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' is an action blockbuster where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team members risk their lives to embark on a single mission amidst a dire crisis threatening all of humanity.
