Fantasy action blockbuster Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has claimed the top spot at the daily box office for the second consecutive day, signaling a strong debut ahead of its first weekend in theaters.

According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated ticketing network on July 25, the film attracted 73,077 moviegoers the previous day, pushing its cumulative total to 200,508 since opening on July 23.

Based on the popular web novel and webtoon of the same name, the film follows a story in which the fictional world of a decade-long serialized novel becomes reality.

It was directed by Kim Byung-woo, known for The Terror Live and PMC: The Bunker.
