Recorded the No. 1 box office record in the U.S. for the first time as a director's work.

``The Town,'' which was released in the United States on September 17, 2010, became the first Ben Affleck-directed movie to reach No. 1 in the weekend box office rankings. From the next week onwards, the box office revenue of a normal work would have continued to decline by 50% every weekend, but for this work, it continued at a smooth pace of a 30% decline, and finally reached its 7th week. It remained in the top 10 for many years. This longevity is also a sign that the audience is concentrated among the middle-aged and older generation.

As a result, this film, which cost $35 million to make, grossed more than $90 million at the US box office. Quite a feat for an R-rated crime drama. In addition to box office revenue, the film itself received explosive acclaim, with Jeremy Renner nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards. Director Ben Affleck, who captivated hardcore movie fans with his previous film ` `Gone Baby Gone ,'' expanded his range of expression with ``The Town'' and gained an even more mainstream audience. After that, he never slowed down and won the Academy Award for Best Picture for `` Argo '', reaching the top of the movie world.
