This week's "Insiders" took over last week's champion "Black Priests" swept the box office and won the championship, contributing to the boom of Korean local films. Although "Black Priests" has slipped one place, the cumulative number of viewers of 4.44 million has been able to laugh at the list. Compared with the rise of two local films, the two imported blockbusters this week are no longer a big event, "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingbird (Part 2)" and "007: Ghost Party" can not reproduce the glory of the previous works in terms of word of mouth or box office, and the two works this week are ranked three and four.
