The period film surpassed 6 million in cumulative ticket sales as of Monday, three weeks after its release on Feb. 4, the film's distributor Showbox said on Tuesday.
It reached the milestone faster than the 2005 hit period film "The King and the Clown," which took 29 days, raising expectations that "The King's Warden" could become this year's first film to draw over 10 million moviegoers.
The 117-minute film starring Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Hae-jin and Yoo Ji-tae, tells the story of Danjong, the sixth king of the Joseon Dynasty, who was exiled to Yeongwol, Gangwon Province.
