[Sportschosun Jo Ji-young reporter] The zombie action film 'Colony,' which has drawn 5 million moviegoers and was produced by Yeon Sang-ho, WOWPOINT and Smilegate, maintained its box-office lead for a fourth consecutive weekend.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network, 'Colony' attracted 301,053 viewers from June 12 to 14, as of 7 a.m. on the 15th, ranking No. 1 at the overall weekend box office in its fourth week since release.

'Colony' depicts a desperate struggle inside a building sealed off by an unidentified outbreak, where isolated survivors fight against infected people that evolve in unpredictable ways. The film stars Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rok and Gosu, and was directed by Yeon Sang-ho of 'Train to Busan,' 'Peninsula' and 'The Ugly.'
