Well this should be an interesting month. Will films from China or Korea win the title of the best film of April? 55.1 percent of the box office this years tickets sold have been Korean films. After the summer 2008, this # should change a lot.
Not a good weekend but it was not a bad one either. The 2 top films were both flat to me and I just did not enjoy them. The USA films playing now were released last year in the USA and the new release of Iron Man will be released on April 30, it should be a flat few weeks for USA films here in Korea.
