The movie ‘The Exorcist’ has confirmed its release in Southeast Asian theaters, signaling a global box office hit beyond Korea.

According to distributor Showbox on the 20th, ‘Showbox’, which has been a long-term box office hit, surpassing a cumulative audience of 450,000, has confirmed its release in Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey, and Thailand. It will be released in Vietnam on the 21st, in Indonesia on the 26th, in Turkey on April 4th, and in Thailand on April 24th.

The local Vietnamese distributor SIDUS AND TEU Entertainment JSC said, “We wanted to introduce this rare, well-made work to local audiences with its differentiated subject matter and fun compared to animations from other countries. “There are many fans of the occult, horror, and animation genres in Vietnam, so we hope that word of mouth will spread and that this film will do well for them,” he said. In particular, it is expected to receive a hot response as it will be released in the special 4DX theater format that was very well received in Korea.

As the occult film ‘Pa-myo’, which sold 11.91 million tickets, has become a hot topic in Southeast Asia, breaking Korean film box office records and becoming a global hit, ‘The Exorcist’ is also expected to captivate local audiences through its overseas release and lead to global success. In particular, it is being sold and is preparing for release in 12 countries overseas, including not only Southeast Asia but also North America, South America, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Bulgaria.

‘The Exorcist’, based on the novel of the same name, is an occult animation that contains the beginning of a grand epic in which exorcists with special abilities fight against absolute evil.
