Korea Weekend Box Office – June 15-18 (Mini Edition)

Sorry the box office was late this week. Busy busy…. but I just finished another chapter on my book (and there was much rejoicing).

Title – Weekend Seoul Admissions – Total Nationwide Admissions

1. Ocean’s 13 – 166,800 – 510,100
2. Shrek 3 – 134,000 – 2,198,000
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End – 47,000 – 4,717,800
4. Hwang Jinyi – 46,300 – 1,044,700
5. Love and Trouble – 38,400 – 115,300
6. Secret Sunshine – 24,700 – 1,538,400
7. The Messenger – 8,000 – 240,500
8. Kiiroi Namida – 7,500 – 17,000
9. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – 7,400 – 12,300
10. The Wonder Years – 700 – 3,000

Kind of a fun week for disproportionate results. OCEANS 13 was the top film, despite appearing in many fewer theaters than the Nos. 2-4 films (249 screens for the Steven Soderberg film, vs. 450, 350, and 424 for the next three). Heck, even SECRET SUNSHINE was in 246 screens, despite doing less than 20% of the business OCEANS did.

    what’s Love and Trouble called in the rest of the world?
    When I searched for it at IMDB the only match was a silent B/W movie from 1915!

    cancel that!
    thepicca.co.kr had the full title
    Love and other disasters.
    It sounds like a good laugh.

    Thanks for the catch. I did not have the time to track down the proper title this week.
