The movie theater, which had been silent for a while due to the spread of Corona 19, became noisy.
On the 27th, an online community posted a picture of’Megabox Current Status’.
In the photo in the post, the movie theater Megabox is crowded with people. Each photo is described as’Megabox Dongdaemun’,’Megabox Busan University’,’Megabox Yeongtong’, and’Megabox Changwon’.
This is the day when the Japanese animated film “Theatrical Edition Blade of the Extinction: Infinite Train” was released. Citizens in the photo were wearing thick padding and waiting in line from morning to watch the movie’Sword of Demon Extinction’, and also gathered to buy original tickets and goods.
These photos even raise doubts whether the actual situation is correct at the time of keeping a distance from Corona 19. However, among the photos, there is a photo that was certified after receiving a number tag corresponding to ’30 people waiting at 8:15 am on January 27th’.
In addition, in the picture taken at the movie theater ticket box, there is also an information board stating “Where to get the original ticket for the sword of the demons and where to buy goods (puzzle, card)”. The information board explained, “After 7:30 am, we will provide original tickets and help purchase goods in order. Please keep a distance of 1m from the person in front.”
On this day, most of the theaters were sold out. Megabox Busan National University can only accommodate 100-200 people per theater due to its distance, but it was confirmed that all seats were sold out by time.
In particular, it seems that the’Megabox Original Ticket Special’ event was held at Megabox. The tickets, which are distributed in limited quantities from the day of opening to the time they run out of stock, are a first-come-first-served basis.
There are already posts on social media stating that the tickets should be exchanged, and transactions are being made. In addition, more and more people are certifying tickets to the movie’Sword of Demons’ on Instagram.
The movie “Theatrical Edition Blade of Immortality: Infinite Train” tells the story of a bloody battle of a lifetime of demons and unpredictable abilities on an infinite train running in the dark.
The manga has already set a tremendous record, winning over’One Piece’, which has been the No. 1 sales volume in Japan for 11 years, and surpassing 120 million copies in cumulative publication. The news that such a cartoon will be released in the theater for the first time is enough to wow many fans.
With Corona 19, most movie theaters are hitting profits directly. The number of movie theaters closed was the largest in 12 years after the financial crisis.
According to the Commercial Information Research Institute, 81 movie theaters closed last year across the country, an increase of about 88.4% compared to 2019.
