Korea Weekend Box Office - April 25-27

Not a great weekend for the movie business in general. Even worse for Korean film, with local pics getting just the No. 7 and No. 8 spots (unless you count THREE KINGDOMS, which Taewon Entertainment invested in, but I do not).

IRON MAN opens tomorrow. SPEED RACER the week after that. Pretty much some giant Hollywood film opens every weekend for the next month or two. Could be an ugly stretch ahead of Korean movies.
