Korean Weekend Box Office (2011.02.25~2011.02.27)
Korean
ticket sales dipped a tad this week, but Lee Kyoo-man’s “Children…”
still managed to draw in 335,846 people to hold the number one. The
story of five boys who mysteriously disappeared in 1991 is back in
publics mind. But unlike the 1992 film “Come Back Frog Boys”, this one
centres on a reporter and professor seeking to advance their careers. Be
sure to catch Hancinema’s full review of the film later this week.
There
are two new films at two and three this week. Natalie Portman stars in
“Black Swan”, a mystery thriller from director Darren Aronofsky. It’s
the story of a ballet dancer who has the lead in “Swan Lake” but slowly
loses her mind to reveal a darker side. D.J. Caruso’s sci-fi thriller “I
Am Number Four” is at number three with 252,473 admissions. And finally
“Detective-K” as seemed to have peaked with a total of 4,470,939
moviegoers, it sits at number four.
Disney’s
“Tangled” drops one spot to number five, but is still holding its place
in the charts. “Tangled” had done relatively well, with only a
relatively small drop of 55,347 admissions from last week. Not bad
considering “Detective-K” saw its viewership drop by 128, 555. At number
six is the co-production “Late Autumn”, a film that I thought would be
doing a lot better than is has so far. Tae-Yong Kim’s film has had a
considerable drop in admissions, with a difference of some 243, 842. The
number seven spot is all action with Jason Statham in “The Mechanic”. A
skilled hit man takes on an apprentice with connections to an old hit;
this will surely appease action junkies who have been starved of a
decent action flick recently.
Jaume
Collet-Serra’s “Unknown” has had its ticket sales almost chopped in half
at number eight. The animation film “Alpha and Omega” fills up the
number nine slot. This 3D film tells the story of two wolves finding
love in a foreign land while trying to make their way home. “Late
Blossom” is number ten with just 89,329 tickets sold this week.
