The Sewol ferry sank on April 16, 2014, taking the lives of nearly 300 passengers, mostly students and teachers who were on a school field trip.
Released on April 12, "Intention", directed by Kim Ji-young, follows what happened from the time the ill-fated ferry left the Incheon port for the southern resort island of Jeju. Its aim is to provide a fact-based scientific analysis of why the ferry sank.
The documentary became the most-watched current affairs documentary film of all time in the country on Thursday and is soon expected to overtake "Don't Cry for Me Sudan" (2010) as South Korea's No. 4 most popular documentary movie.
Coming in close third and fourth were American horror movie "A Quiet Place" and Steven Spielberg's sci-fi fantasy "Ready Player One." They attracted 108,760 and 97,755 cinemagoers, respectively.
Fifth place went to "Marionette" starring Lee Yoo-young and Kim Hee-won. The Korean thriller on crimes against minors and women garnered 87,645 views. (Yonhap)
