Despite the golden holiday (April 30 to May 3), the situation at movie theaters did not improve significantly. Although more than 100,000 viewers visited on the first day, the number remained around 70,000 for the following three days.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated ticketing system on the 4th, a total of 326,682 viewers visited theaters over the past four days. The daily average was 81,670 viewers. This was an increase compared to the daily average of 49,766 viewers during last month's holidays and weekends, but the recovery was slow. During the same period last year, despite the absence of a weekend, 2,985,827 people visited theaters, averaging 746,456 viewers per day.

The seat occupancy rate during the golden holiday period was recorded at 5.8%. It was 7.7% on the first day but dropped to the 5% range afterward. The box office leader was Troll: World Tour, attracting 46,235 viewers over four days. My Youth Is Yours ranked second with 34,009 viewers. Following were Hotel Lake (29,886 viewers), Beyond That Mountain (28,488 viewers), Avengers: Endgame (25,855 viewers), My Spy (23,422 viewers), and Farewell My Concubine: The Original (21,116 viewers).
