Korean comedy film “My Annoying Brother” drew more than 1 million domestic moviegoers in the four days from its release in local theaters on Thursday.

The film, starring Jo Jung-suk, Do Kyung-soo and Park Shin-hye, had drawn some 1,037,839 moviegoers as of Sunday, according to data from the Korea Film Council.

“My Annoying Brother” maintained the No. 2 spot at the box office from Friday, following “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” which is set in the “Harry Potter” universe. “My Annoying Brother” topped the local box office on the date of its release Thursday.

The movie revolves around a brotherhood that builds from an awkward relationship and squabbles following an unwelcome reunion. Jo plays a womanizer put behind bars who pleads to be released on parole as his younger brother‘s caretaker. The upright younger brother and judo competitor, played by Do, remains hostile toward his older brother.
