Korea Weekend Box Office - Nov. 7-9

James Bond has a pretty good opening last weekend. Not record-breaking or anything amazing, but pretty good -- almost 900,000 admissions and $4.3 million. Personally, I thought it was a noisy, annoying film. Exceptionally well done... but so well done technically that it was pretty empty. Also, it gave me a headache.

Kind of cool, though, that it was released a week before the US market.

Otherwise, not a lot of insights to add. Yet another film with a ONCE UPON A TIME English title opened, but no one seemed to care. Really, that title should be retired, like Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan's jersey.

Not sure what I think of the manga adaptation ANTIQUE. Very middling advertising campaign. Love that food pr0n, but this was not a great example of the genre.

PS: Forget to mention -- Zach Snyder was in town on Monday, shilling for THE WATCHMEN. And like a total idiot, I forgot to go. I am really hating myself right now. THE WATCHMEN is looking great and it is one of my favorite comic books ever. Sigh.
