Targeting Global Market with Unique Concept

The Korean film 'My Daughter is a Zombie' is drawing attention as it successfully exports distribution rights to Asia and North America following its domestic box office success.

The film, which tells the story of a daughter who becomes a zombie and her family through a comedic lens, has garnered positive audience response with its differentiated approach from typical zombie horror films. Its proven box office potential through top-tier domestic performance is analyzed to have attracted overseas buyers' interest.

Simultaneous Entry into Asia and North America

According to multiple industry sources, the film's distribution rights have been sold to major Asian markets including Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, as well as North American regions including the United States and Canada.

Particularly, the unique combination of zombie genre with family drama was positively evaluated by distributors in each country. The recent success of Korean zombie content such as 'Train to Busan' and 'Kingdom' overseas appears to have worked favorably for this deal.

New Possibilities for Korean Genre Films

This export achievement demonstrates that Korean cinema is securing competitiveness in genre diversity, not just limited to melodrama or action.

It proves that attempts to combine universal zombie material with Korean sensibility and humor can work in the global market. Industry insiders forecast that similar hybrid genre works will be produced more actively in the future.

A domestic distributor official stated, "The main selling point was that family-centered narratives can resonate across cultural boundaries," adding, "Release schedules in each country will be confirmed sequentially according to local circumstances."
