Its gross revenues between Friday and Sunday represented the second biggest opening of the year. They lifted the nationwide total to the country’s second largest weekend of 2022.
In admissions terms, the film sold 2.03 million tickets over the weekend proper and 2.68 million over the full five-day opening period. The huge opening gave Korea a $22.7 million Friday-to-Sunday weekend. “The Night Owl,” which had topped the Korean chart for the previous three weekends fell to second place, earning $1.38 million or a 6% market share. After nearly four weeks on release, it has accumulated $21.8 million.
Despite the “Avatar 2” onslaught which cut its screen count, Japanese romantic drama film “Even if This Love Disappears From the World Tonight” grew again. In its third weekend of release it managed a gross score of $744,000. That was up from $674,000 the previous weekend and $299,000 in its first session. After 19 days in Korean cinemas, it has amassed $2.61 million.
