Disregarding the OD which came on a wednesday, CA:CW has been continuously coming in slightly under AOU (admissions): Tracking very similarly on weekdays. At this pace, one can imagine that the final result will be similar too.

Today should act like a friday with Children's Day holiday tomorrow.

Captain America: Civil War passed 4 million admissions yesterday, on the 6th day of it's release, making it the fastest foreign release to reach that landmark. The previous fastest film was The Avengers: Age of Ultron which managed it in 7 days. 4 million admissions (number of days) -Restricted to just 10 million admission films -5 days- Roaring currents (2014) -6 days- Captain America: Civil War (2016) -7 days- The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) The Host (2006) -8 days- The Thieves (2012) -9 days- Veteran (2015) -10 days- Interstellar (2014) -11 days- Haeundae (2009) Avatar (2009) -12 days- Miracle in cell no.7 (2013) Ode to my Father (2014) -15 days- Frozen (2014) -16 days- Masquerade (2012)

Yeah, that monday number is pretty underwhelming. Shades of AoU...

It's just a graphical representation of AOU's run, you can see it here: http://i.imgur.com/em8p2Gr.png Monday is a normal work-day, the holidays this week fall on Thursday (Children's day) and Friday (temporary national holiday), So Thur-Sun should be a massive 4 week holiday AOU was considered to have average-to-bad word of mouth and it fell 71% on it's first monday like I mentioned above so something above that preferably. Thinking that something near the 300-350K admissions mark should be decent enough.

Looking back, AOU had a pretty bad 71% drop on it's first monday. The run itself was pretty unimpressive, with mostly weak weekdays propped up by national holidays. Here's a graph showing it's run Weekly breakdown looks like this (in admissions) OW (4-day): 3,440,937 week2: 3,567,167 (+3.67%) week3: 2,365,817 (-50.8%) week4: 648,101 (-265%) week5: 286,039 (-127%) AOU was a 4day OW compared to CW's 5 day OW so direct extrapolation may be a little hard to determine, but the first Monday should be some indicator of how the weekdays will be for CW. Naver ratings look to settle around the same as TWS right now so it might be helpful to compare that run too. TWS weekly drops (admissions): OW (5 day): 1,473,005 week2: 1,137,944 (-22.7%) week3: 712,855 (-37.4%) week4: 381,252 (-46.5%) week5: 176,230 (-53.8%) weekdays held better for TWS compared to AOU, but that could probably be attributed to the release date (early april), and less massive weekends. Either run would still take it over 10M admissions which I would say is pretty much a lock now. How it fares against new releases (there's quite a few lined up) should determine whether it breaks 11M admissions or not.

The sad reality of screen monopoly in Korea. Everyone knows it's a problem but no one does anything about it.

lol in that case glad to make your acquaintance. hopefully I stick around longer this time

Thanks! I don't remember any username like GOXOG, What was your previous username?

One of the biggest cinema theatre in the busiest part of Seoul only has showings for CA3 at the moment for the weekend. Crazy stuff.

haha wow, crazy OD! OW should be fun to track

Haha thanks guys, it feels great to be on here again and see familiar faces I'm sure it's been mentioned already but tracking this against the Avengers seems to be the logical choice. I'd say the OW will be pretty similar with no new major releases with maybe the slight edge to AOU due to the higher anticipation for it. for now I'd say 550-650K OD and 3-3.5M 5 day OW. Even if it comes in lower than AOU for the OW though, I anticipate the legs will probably be stronger for civil war.

looks like this will have good word of mouth Current ratings on naver are: 9.28/10.0 (Netizen:202) 9.21/10.0 (audience:803) possible 10M admission film

it's 12:25 December 25 in Korea so Merry Christmas to everyone at BOT

how very disappointing....looks like no 10 million adm film for the winter period of 2015 in Korea.

The Martian Sunday Box office (10/11) Admissions: 451,564 Total admissions: 1,812,957 (4-day OW) Gross: $3.22M ($12.77M total cume) Sunday & OW admissions for Interstellar Sunday: 648,412 4-day OW: 1,905,207

not sure if serious....

I saw it being mentioned too. Maybe Okja won't be a big budget film then or he could have changed his mind I guess.

The Martian Saturday Box office (10/10) Admissions: 533,682 Total admissions: 1,355,351 Gross: $3.83M Saturday admissions for Interstellar Interstellar: 683,898

Welcome back Compared to what? Because The Martian is only just starting

No judgement I've been there myself Yeah I agree. Interstellar had much bigger presales but came in lower than The Martian, even on it's OD. I don't see much in the way of competition this month (much like interstellar) so it should have good legs and soft drops. Whether or not it's final tally reaches Interstellar levels or not is harder to predict. IS was a real visual experience which is why it gathered so many repeat viewings. The Martian doesn't have that so it will rely on other aspects to draw in more people. Optimistically, I'm hoping for an Inception level run of 5.9 million admissions.

Long time no talk

not bad? that's huge for a non sequel outside the holiday frame. If it does increase tomorrow it probably won't be by a large margin since today was inflated due to it being a holiday.

The Martian Friday Box office (10/10 Hangeul day holiday) Admissions: 534,838 Total admissions: 815,863 Gross: $3.78 million Friday admissions for Interstellar and Gravity Interstellar: 330,691 Gravity: 157,941

I was kind of expecting this but disappointed all the same, that was one of the things that made the book a really enjoyable read. Is the humor really lacking in the film then?
