Well this week Transformers set the "All Time Foreign Film Tickets Sold" here in Korea, breaking the old 5.9 million mark of LOTR 3.
Harry Potter has had a good 2 weeks so far. Not sure what the final # will be.
The big news will be the release of Hwaryeohan Hyuga (or "Splendid Vacation"), (or MAY 18TH) on 25 July 2007, CJ entertainment has been giving the release a huge ad campaign. The early reviews are not good. Also, D-WAR will be released on August 1. This should make for a very interesting few weeks here in Korea.
