‘Roaring Currents’ to hit American cinemas on Korea‘s Liberation Day

The period blockbuster “Roaring Currents” will meet U.S. audiences on Aug. 15, Korea’s Liberation Day, even as the film resets the Korean box office record by the day.

The record-breaking film is to hit 30 cinemas across the U.S. with its localized title “The Admiral.”

“The Admiral” will open with a special preview for Korean-Americans on Tuesday followed by a general audience preview on Friday, finally hitting cinemas next week.

“The Admiral” depicts the historical Battle of Myeongryang won by admiral Yi Sun-shin, who managed to fend off 330 Japanese ships with only 12 vessels.

The film surpassed the local audience record with 3 million movie goers within four days of opening.
