Korea Weekend Box Office - Feb. 8-10

Seollal is always one of the best seasons in Korea for going to the movies. And this year, because Seollal fell on a Thursday, that meant people got most of the week off of work. In other words, last week was a movie-going holiday with limitless potential.

Unfortunately, the competition was pretty unbelievable. Six new, high-profile Korean films have been released in the past couple of weeks... all of which did okay, but none of which was able to distinguish itself from the others. As a result, a lot of films there did okay, but nothing special.

The one special film continues to be FOREVER THE MOMENT, which has now topped 4 million admissions... or over $25 million.

Oh, Korean films are now up to 61.5 percent of the year's box office, in case you were curious.

Sorry for not doing more updates these days. As I said before, am rather busy with regular work, plus I am trying to get a couple of new things off the ground. Hopefully I will be able to announce them soon.
