Well talk about a few surprises this week, May 18th is once again the #1 film in Korea. It looks like D-War is starting to drop. The film distributor "Showbox" is stating that D-War has sold over 8 million tickets. (Please remember Kobis only cover 94% of all of the theaters in Korea.) One real surprise has been the USA film "Stardust" it has received a good word of mouth and has slowly built a nice showing. The thud you heard was "The Simpson's Movie" It looks like it will not do good business here in Korea.
