SEOUL, July 14 (Yonhap) -- Movie "Decision to Leave," starring Park Hae-il and Tang Wei, exceeded 1 million cumulative audiences on Wednesday, announced distributor CJ ENM.

"Decision to Leave" was released on June 29 and took two weeks to surpass 1 million cumulative viewers. The estimated break-even point is 1.2 million audiences as the movie costed 11.3 billion won to produce.

"Decision to Leave" is the first new film by director Park Chan-wook in six years and its release drew attention as he won the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival in France in last May. However, its box office performance is low compared to Park's previous films such as "The Handmaiden" (4.28 million), "Bats" (2.23 million) and "Lady Vengeance" (3.65 million).

"Decision to Leave" is about detective Hae-jun (Park Hae-il), who investigated the death case, falls in a love with the deceased's wife, Seorae (Tang Wei).
