SEOUL — Marvel Studios' latest film "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" has broken box office records in South Korea, surpassing 1 million admissions at the fastest pace among this year's releases. The film achieved a cumulative audience of 1.02 million as of midnight Friday, the fourth day of its release, according to Walt Disney Company Korea.
This makes it the fastest film to reach 1 million admissions this year, surpassing top-grossing films such as the Japanese animated film "Suzume" and the Korean crime-thriller "The Point Men," which took six and seven days respectively to reach the same milestone.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" exceeded expectations, as the first two installments attracted just slightly over 1.34 million and 2.73 million admissions respectively in South Korea. The success of the third installment can be attributed to its compelling storyline and beloved cast of underdog superheroes.
The series, which premiered in 2014, follows the story of a group of superheroes who are somewhat lacking in teamwork or ability as they face a multiversal threat. In the final installment of the series, Peter, who is grieving after losing his lover Gamora, sets out on a mission with his colleagues that could be their last.
The success of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" in South Korea bodes well for its global release. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe's reputation for box office success, it's likely that the film will perform well in other markets as well.
