[Box Office] Tom Holland's 'Uncharted' Tops Weekend... Foreign Films and Animation Struggle
Weekend (18-20) Box Office
Foreign Film 'Uncharted' Ranks 1st
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The movie "Uncharted," starring actor Tom Holland, topped the weekend box office. In the absence of new domestic releases, foreign films and animations are at least drawing audiences.
According to the Korea Film Council's integrated box office data for theaters, "Uncharted" attracted 252,334 viewers over the weekend (18th-20th), securing the number one spot. Since its release on the 16th, the cumulative audience has reached 365,100, with a revenue share of 53.1%.
The Japanese animation "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie," released on the 17th, drew 90,398 viewers during the same period, ranking second. The top two films accounted for more than 70% of the total weekend audience.
The films "Pirates: Goblin Flag" and "Kingmaker," which premiered during the Lunar New Year holiday, attracted 20,000 to 30,000 viewers, placing third and fifth respectively.
The foreign film "Death on the Nile" ranked fourth, and "Spider-Man: No Way Home," released last December, came in sixth. The animations "Sing 2" and "Octonauts: The Great Undersea Escape" took seventh and eighth places respectively.
