CJ ENM, which is handling international sales, said overseas sales revenue alone had already topped the picture’s net production budget.

The boy, Ryu Sun-woo, had long been given up for dead. Kim has worked with Yeon several times before.

Bae Hyeon-seong plays Sun-woo in his first lead role in a feature film, and the knotty relationship between mother and son sits at the heart of the film. The Hawai‘i slot extends a festival run that has already taken in Toronto and Busan.

At the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, the film played in the Special Presentations section and sold out all four of its official screenings, roughly 2,300 seats in total. It then screened as a Gala Presentation at the 31st Busan International Film Festival, where its four screenings also sold out.

HIFF focuses on cinema from Asia and the Pacific and uses film to encourage cross-cultural exchange. This year’s edition will run Oct.

It will open in South Korean cinemas on Oct. 21, with CJ ENM distributing at home.

Taiwan will follow on Oct. 23 and Singapore on Nov.

Well Go USA will release the film in North America on Nov. 6, the same day it opens in Vietnam, and Indonesia is set for Nov.
