“The Admiral: Roaring Currents” Breaks “The Host” Box Office Record

For eight years, the film “The Host” had the highest box office record. However, “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” has broken that record.

Many are noting that if this continues, it could possibly break the box office record of “Avatar,” which was 13.6 million.

Seventeen days after its release, “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” broke the box office record of “The Host” in record time and is now making a breakthrough. For “The Host,” it took 105 days for it to reach 13 million.

On the third day, “The Admiral: Roarding Currents” reached two million. Increasing by a million each day, the movie hit 10 million by the twelfth day.

Even on the premiere date, the film set a record of 680 thousand viewers.
