According to figures from the Korean Film Council, "Psychokinesis," directed by Yeon Sang-ho, sold 471,778 tickets, with the comedy-drama starring Lee Byung-hun just barely behind with 441,026.

Yeon's film is about a financially struggling bank guard who one day obtains a psychokinetic ability and uses the power to help his long-estranged daughter.

Walt Disney and Pixar's animated film "Coco" dropped to third in its fourth weekend at the box office. It added 277,435 to bring its domestic total to slightly over 3 million.

It was closely followed by the new Hollywood release "Insidious: The Last Key." The horror-thriller amassed 212,120 moviegoers.

The Korean box-office smash hit "Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds" continued its long run at the box office at No. 5.
