Is Kim So Eun's 'The Distributor' a Flop?

Kim So Eun's movie also didn't gain much popularity when released.

On its opening day, there were less than 4,000 audience and dropped to 2,500 on the second day. It was an extremely meek reception compared to other movies aired in the same week, such as "Decibel," "Black Panther," and "The Own."
