‘Assassin(s)’ Leads for a Second Week
“Assassin(s)” remained No. 1 at the South Korean box office for the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 4, according to the Korean Film Council, the government-backed agency commonly known as KOFIC.
The film, released Sept. 23, drew 667,774 moviegoers during the week, bringing its cumulative admissions to 2,233,961. It earned 6.39 billion won for a 23.5% share of weekly box-office revenue and played 25,868 times across 1,314 screens.
South Korea typically measures box-office performance by admissions as well as revenue, reflecting the country’s centralized movie-ticket reporting system.
‘Chiikawa’ Jumps to Second Place
“Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island” climbed 11 places to No. 2 with 574,035 weekly admissions and 604,760 admissions overall. Although it officially opened Sept. 30, advance screenings were included in the previous week’s data, so KOFIC did not classify it as a new entry. The film earned 5.98 billion won, accounting for 22% of weekly revenue.
“Tazza: Song of Beelzebub” slipped one position to No. 3. It attracted 532,643 viewers during the week and has sold 1,365,646 tickets since its Sept. 23 release. Its weekly revenue reached 5.3 billion won, or 19.5% of the market.
