'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' surpassed 1 million viewers at 7 a.m. on the 22nd, its 8th day since release. The film, which premiered on the 15th, only gathered about 860,000 viewers in its first week. In comparison, the Marvel movie 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' released last November, attracted over 1.08 million viewers in its first week. Considering that Marvel's new releases have typically drawn over 1 million viewers in their opening week, this result is somewhat disappointing.

The film 'Count,' starring Jin Seon-gyu and directed by Kwon Hyuk-jae, which premiered the previous day, attracted 38,066 viewers, debuting at number 2. Including preview screenings, the cumulative audience is 52,060. 'Search 2' (directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick), which also premiered on the same day, drew 36,192 viewers and ranked 4th. 'The First Slam Dunk' (directed by Inoue Takehiko), watched by 36,554 viewers, dropped to 3rd place, but the difference in audience numbers among the films ranked 2nd to 4th is only around 2,000 viewers.

The total number of moviegoers on this day was recorded at 224,780.
