'The Old Woman With the Knife' is hitting the big screen a day earlier than planned—just in time for Culture Day!

🎥 Surprise! A Day-Early Premiere for More Viewers

Originally slated for May 1, the highly-anticipated film The Old Woman With the Knife (directed by Min Kyu-dong) will now be released on April 30. Distributor NEW confirmed the change on April 1, aiming to draw in more moviegoers with the power of Culture Day perks.

Culture Day falls on the last Wednesday of every month, meaning discounted tickets across major theaters nationwide—perfect timing for a box office boost.

This release date tweak also lines up with Korea's golden holiday week. With Labor Day (May 1), Children's Day (May 5), and the alternative holiday (May 6) right around the corner, the film is ready to ride the long-weekend buzz and draw even bigger crowds.

🧨 Legendary Killer vs. Mystery Assassin

🌍 International Film Fest Darling

Even before its domestic release, the film has already caught the eye of global cinephiles. It's been invited to prestigious events like the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the 43rd Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, and the 15th Beijing International Film Festival.
