\n\tTimothee Chalamet-starring fantasy \u201cWonka\u201d claimed the top spot in the weekend\u2019s South Korean box office chart, in an opening that was nearly two months later than many other territories. It delivered a modest jolt to the otherwise slow theatrical market.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWonka\u201d earned $3.97 million between Friday and Sunday in Korea, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). It accounted for 53% of cinema business over the weekend. Over the film\u2019s first five days on release, since its Wednesday Korean debut, \u201cWonka\u201d accumulated $5.67 million.<\/p>\n
\n\tThat counts a decent opening in a traditionally slow month and in a currently depressed Korean box office market. The nationwide cinema market expanded by 25% week-on-week to a weekend size of $7.46 million.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cCitizen of a Kind,\u201d a comedy-drama about a woman who takes matters into her own hands after becoming the victim of a scam, and which topped the box office chart a week earlier, slipped 36% to second place. It added $1.65 million for a 12-day cumulative of $6.47 million.<\/p>\n
\n\tFantasy action film, \u201cAlienoid 2\u201d slipped to third place in its fifth weekend. It notched $354,000 between Friday and Sunday. Since releasing on Jan. 10, it has amassed a cumulative of $10.1 million. (Released in 2022, the first instalment earned $12.2 million.)<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe Birth of Korea,\u201d a biopic about a 19th-century Catholic priest, took fourth place earning $219,000 over the weekend and $270,000 over its opening five days.<\/p>\n
\n\tU.S. animation \u201cWish\u201d drifted down to fifth place with $172,000 over the latest weekend. Since releasing on Jan. 3, the film has accumulated $9.88 million.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201c12.12: The Day,\u201d the political-historical drama that was the biggest film of 2023 in Korea, held sixth place with a $158,000 weekend. The increment lifted the film\u2019s cumulative total to $95.3 million since releasing on Nov. 22.<\/p>\n
\n\tCannes Palme d\u2019Or-winner and multiple Oscar nominee \u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d opened in seventh place with $129,000 over the weekend. It scored $230,000 over its opening five days since Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n\tAnother French title, animation film \u201cThe Jungle Bunch 2: Operation Meltdown\u201d (marketed in Korea as \u201cThe Jungle Bunch: World Tour\u201d) earned $123,000 over its opening five days.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMigration,\u201d in Korean cinemas since Jan. 10, added $96,000 over the weekend. It has accumulated $2.26 million.<\/p>\n
\n\tJapanese animation \u201cNew Dimension! Crayon Shinchan the Movie: Battle of Supernatural Powers \u2013 Flying Sushi\u201d took tenth place with $73,000. Since releasing on Dec. 22, it has amassed $6.68 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
