A film depicting a bloody inter-Korean naval clash 13 years ago topped the weekly box office last weekend, dropping the Hollywood sci-fi film "Jurassic World" to a distant second place, data showed Monday.

"Northern Limit Line" ranked No. 1 on the weekly box-office ranking, drawing 1,105,000 viewers over the weekend, according to the official box-office data from the Korean Film Council.

The movie depicts the naval skirmish off South Korea's border island of Yeonpyeong on June 29, 2002, which left six South Korean sailors dead and 18 others injured.

Released in local theaters Wednesday, the movie was seen by 1,438,345 people through Sunday.

"It set a record as the most-viewed Korean film on its opening week this year," its distributor NEW said in a release.

Since landing at No. 1 on the daily box-office ranking on the opening day, "Northern Limit Line" has kept the spot for five days in a row.

"If this trend continues, the film is expected to easily pass the break-even point of 2.4 million viewers," a NEW official said.

The fourth installment of the "Jurassic Park" series failed to hold the top spot for the third weekend in a row due to the strength of the Korean film, drawing 641,595 moviegoers last weekend.

The Universal Pictures film, however, is still No. 1 on the monthly box-office ranking, selling about 4.45 million tickets.

"The Classified File," another Korean film, came in third with 505,925 viewers. The movie, based on a true abduction case in 1978, was the first Korean film this year to attract 1 million viewers, doing so in the shortest period of time of four days.

It was followed by "Minority Opinion," also a domestic film, with 139,223 viewers. (Yonhap)
