I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor

Chapter 463: Prologue (6)

"Sold out? Every single time slot? Really?" Kang Woo-jin's face remained expressionless as he held the phone to his ear, but inside, he was genuinely shocked.

‘What did he just say? The entire opening day sold out?’

Woo-jin checked the time. It was just past noon, around 12:10. The ticket sales for *Piero* had opened precisely at noon across all 33 theaters in LA and New York, with every available time slot released at once.

‘So, you’re telling me all the tickets for the entire day sold out in just 10 minutes? That’s insane.’

Ten minutes. Even though it was an advance screening and limited to select theaters, selling out in just 10 minutes was beyond Woo-jin’s comprehension—it was unprecedented.

‘Sure, if it were just one time slot, maybe, but the entire day?’

Woo-jin knew that, for a single screening, each theater could have anywhere from 5 to 8 showings per day, with around 300 to 400 seats per auditorium. Taking the maximum into account, that’s around 3,200 seats per theater. Across 33 theaters, that’s over 100,000 tickets. And in just 10 minutes, all those tickets were gone?

‘Is that even possible?’

Of course, this was America, not Korea, and the scale was incomparably larger. Just as Woo-jin was processing this information in silence, Chris Hartnett spoke up on the other end of the line.

“Did you hear me? The entire first day sold out.”

“…Yeah, I heard.”

“It’s unbelievable, right? It all sold out in 10 minutes. I’ve rarely seen anything like this.”

Chris was practically vibrating with excitement, and Woo-jin could feel his energy through the phone. Unlike Woo-jin’s calm exterior, Chris was clearly ecstatic.

“From what I hear, the second day is almost sold out too!”

The second day, too? Woo-jin had anticipated some level of popularity, but this was beyond his wildest expectations. It was so surreal that he couldn’t fully grasp it, but he could hear Chris practically jumping for joy on the other end.

“It feels like the entire world is converging on us right now!”
