Korea Weekend Box Office - May 30-June 1

Only one Korean film in the top-10 again this week -- CHERRY TOMATO, way down in tenth. Korean movies had dropped below 40 percent of the market for 2008 (down to 38.7%). American films are up to 47.9 percent. INDIANA JONES 4 remained at the top of the box office. All rather depressing.
