Introduction to ‘A Normal Family’
The highly anticipated film ‘A Normal Family’ has recently made headlines with its new release date. Originally scheduled to debut on October 9, the film will now premiere on October 16, a decision influenced by the overwhelmingly positive reception it received from both domestic media and critics following its press screening.
Avoiding Box Office Competition
The decision to delay the premiere was strategically made to avoid fierce competition from major releases like ‘Love in the Big City’ and ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ both of which are set to hit South Korean theaters on October 1. By choosing the later date, ‘A Normal Family’ aims to secure a more favorable position in the box office, providing it an opportunity to captivate audiences without the pressure of competing against other blockbuster films.
About the Film
