Holy Crap

Sorry for the less-than-classy headline, but that was my first reaction to reading that Korean movies accounted for 82% of the local box office in September. That is the most ever (well, in modern times), topping the 81% achieved in February.

Even more amazing, the No. 2 country was NOT the United States. Nope, No. 2 went to Japan with 7.3%. Hollywood landed in third with 5.4%.
