Why did it fail at the box office despite the emergency declaration and record-breaking line?

The movie to be introduced today is “Emergency Declaration,” starring Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Jeon Do-yeon, and Kim Nam-gil.
The movie "Emergency Declaration" tells the story of a virus that spreads through the air and kills people even if it is not touched or inhaled, which occurs on an airplane in operation.
From the beginning to the middle of the movie, the sense of immersion was doubled by the mysterious and dangerous atmosphere that this virus gave off and Im Si-wan's acting as a sociopath.
The immersion was good and everything was good until the middle of the process of revealing the true nature of the virus.
From the second half of the film, it suddenly becomes a typical airplane crash movie instead of a virus story.
There was a lot of regret that it would have been better if Im Si-wan, Lee Byung-hun, and Kim Nam-gil had had a more tense confrontation and maintained the theme until the end.
