"Decision to Leave" had shown strong resilience at the South Korean box office, and was available at most South Korean theaters for most of July. However, by August interest had finally died down. Some had hoped that "Decision to Leave" would be able to break the two million viewer mark off of this unexpectedly strong long-term performance, but the film is currently slated to leave theaters with around 1.8 million admissions to its credit.
