| Animated Film 'King of Kings' Surpasses 'Parasite' to Become the Highest-Grossing South Korean Film in the U.S. |
The animated film "King of Kings" has recently made history by becoming the highest-grossing South Korean film in the United States, surpassing the Oscar-winning "Parasite". In just three weeks of release, the film has earned $54.7 million in the domestic market, and its screenings are still ongoing.
With this achievement, "King of Kings" has dethroned "Parasite", which previously held the record with a total of $53.8 million since its release in 2019. Parasite had dominated the South Korean film market in the U.S. for nearly six years, but now its position has been overtaken by the animated film that tells the story of the life of Jesus Christ.
Based on Charles Dickens' book "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ", the film was originally written by Dickens in 1849 to be read to his children. Dickens aimed to tell the story of Jesus in simple language, including his teachings and the miracles attributed to him. The book was never intended for widespread publication, but it eventually became the inspiration for this animated film, which has gained international success.
In the English-language version, the film features the voices of renowned actors such as Pierce Brosnan, Oscar Isaac, Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, and Forest Whitaker, who voice the main characters. While the film focuses on the life of Jesus, it presents the story in a lighthearted comedy-drama format, making it suitable for audiences of all ages. To date, "King of Kings" has grossed a total of $59 million globally, and it continues to show strong potential in international markets.
This film not only provides profound entertainment for many viewers but also offers a fresh perspective on how a classic story can be interpreted in a modern and engaging way.
