The film 'Lim Young-woong | I'm Hero the Stadium', which contains the live footage of singer Lim Young-woong's concert at Seoul World Cup Stadium, set a new box office record on the first day of its release.
According to the integrated computer network for movie theater tickets on the 29th , the day before its release, the film earned 1.42 billion won in sales and topped the box office in terms of 'sales'. Its sales share reached 44.3 %, taking an overwhelming 1st place.
In terms of the number of viewers, it was watched by 49,000 people, which was less than the 63,000 people that came to the top spot the day before, 'Alien: Romulus', but in terms of sales, it far surpassed 'Alien: Romulus' (490 million won , 15.6 %).
This high share of sales is interpreted as being due to the fact that the film was shown at the highest theater ticket price of all time. The film, which is shown exclusively at CGV , is shown for 25,000 won in 2D , 32,000 won in ScreenX , and 35,000 won in IMAX . Compared to the regular 2D price of 15,000 won , it is more than 10,000 won more expensive.

'I'm Hero the Stadium' is the first live concert film to be simultaneously released in special theaters. As audiences flocked to the special theaters to experience the live concert experience, some theaters sold out.
'I'm Hero the Stadium' is still in first place with a reservation rate of 27.1 % this morning. The number of ticket holders is approximately 93,000 .
Even though the ticket prices are high, the fact that it is ranked first in advance reservation rate and daily blockbuster sales shows that the Heroes' Generation members really love the Heroes.
