The top three films at the South Korean box office held on to their positions with ‚Exhuma‘ recording its seventh weekend win.
Without significant new challengers, spooky Korean drama “Exhuma” held on at the top of the South Korea box office chart for the seventh consecutive weekend. Its cumulative passed the symbolic $80 million mark.
The lack of strong new release titles also meant that aggregate weekend box office in Korea slipped to a lowly $5.59 million.
The Choi Min-sik-starring “Exhuma” dropped roughly 50% week-on-week to record $1.59 million between Friday and Sunday, and a 28% market share, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). That gives it a cumulative total of $80.8 million, earned from 11.3 million spectators.
“Troll Factory,” a crime drama about a journalist’s investigation of an online scam, has received mixed reviews, but held on the second position in its second weekend of release.
