BTS' first film, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, revealed the green light for the box office.
According to the integrated network of the movie theater admission ticket of the Film Promotion Committee on the 12th, The Stage: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run ranked first in the advance booking with a reservation rate of 34.6% as of 1:00 on the day. The advance purchase amount is 123,353 people.
This is a reversal of the movie Harry Potter series spin-off Mysterious Animals and Grindelwald's Crimes, which is about to be released this week. In addition, the movie 'Perfect Other' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which are currently in the first and second box offices of the day, are overwhelming.
These results are analyzed as a result of the thick fan base of BTS. Moreover, considering that the opening of 'Bun the Stage: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run' is a CSAT job, BTS fans who finished the test seem to have been driven to the theater.
Until now, documentary films that have made Idol a Grand prize have been released. I AM (2012) SM Town the Stage (2015), Nine Muses: Their Survival (2014) and Jeksky's Aitin (2018) were released against Idol fans, but they did not do much good.
However, as the number of pre-sales exceeds 120,000, attention is focused on whether BTS can write a new history in Idol documentary films.
Bunde Stage: The Movie is a documentary film featuring BTS's world tour 2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour, which has a record of 300 days of long journeys, 19 cities, 40 performances and 550,000 viewers.
The Stage: The Movie will be released on the 15th.
