Comedy film “Luck-Key” is continuing to dominate the local box office.

Over 600,000 local moviegoers flocked to theaters for the film on Saturday alone, according to data from the Korean Film Council on Sunday. It has attracted nearly 3.8 million people since its opening day on Oct. 13.

A remake of the 2012 Japanese blockbuster “Key of Life” by Kenji Uchida, “Luck-Key” follows the series of events that unfold after a man loses his memory as a result of an accident at a public bathhouse. Directed by Lee Gye-byeok, it stars actors Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Joon and Jo Yoon-hee.

The film was sold to nine countries, including China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, US, Canada and Great Britain, prior to its release.

Currently the Hollywood mystery thriller “Inferno” is trailing behind the comedy film in the box office, exceeding 340,000 viewers thus far.

“Luck-Key” is now playing in local theaters.
