Which is in no way a disappointment

two 10 million admission films released within 2 weeks of each other on top of MI5. That would be quite a spectacle. Have you seen The Beauty Inside?

It's not really showing signs of holding well but that's mostly because of the heated competition rather than bad word of mouth. I'm expecting maybe around $11-14 million finish.

Ghost Protocol vs Rogue Nation (admissions) >Ghost protocol Week1: 1,734,613 (includes previews) Week2: 1,954,844 Week3: 1,638,978 Week4: 932,475 Week5: 599,770 >Rogue Nation Week1: 2,462,661 (includes previews) Week2: 1,099,141 Expecting Rogue nation to top Ghost protocol in week 2 as well.

Competition is extreme right now it's unreal. Some of you may remember a similar build up from last year during the same period. Roaring Currents was putting up insane numbers but Kundo folded pretty early and The Pirates took some time to build up word of mouth. Sea fog did poor numbers. This year, first Assassination, then MI5 and now veteran are all being well received and box office competition is much more fierce as a result. Inside out went below it's opening day admissions for the first time in it's run, after 29 days of release.

Terminator Genisys started the month strong with a similar opening to Terminator Salvation, and although the final count was considerably lower, it still managed to finish with a respectable sum and gives a good enough platform for future sequels to build on. Inside out was the surprise run of the month, and a contender for the year. A classic word of mouth film that seems to happen more regularly nowadays with the rise of SNS platforms and almost universal usage of smartphones. It's currently 28 days into it's run (by 08/05) and it's lowest number to date came from it's opening day which is an astonishing statistic even after factoring the fact that it's OD wasn't all that high. Currently it's aiming for the KFP series but don't be surprised or disappointed if it comes short, the competition for this summer is unbelievably strong. Northern Limit Line, became the first local film to break 6 million admissions this year and can be considered a mid sized hit which the market had been sorely lacking up to that point. It was extremely well received by the public at large with naver ratings maintaining an average score above 9.0/10.0. Assassination delivered the second biggest opening of the year behind Age of ultron and also the second biggest opening of July behind record breaking hit Roaring Currents from last year. It's currently a lock for 10M admissions and continues the trend of at least one local film reaching 10M admissions in an annual year. Finally, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation opened to a series high admissions and gross and word of mouth seems to be decent. Competition again is the main obstacle but I imagine it has enough in it's tank to beat Ghost protocol and become the most attended/highest grossing film of the series Most Attended films (Admissions: July 2015) 01. 5,419,906 Assassination 02. 4,143,541 Northern Limit Line 03. 3,830,384 Inside Out 04. 3,229,624 Terminator Genisys 05. 980,613 Jurassic World 06. 971,997 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 07. 827,836 The Piper 08. 680,625 Insidious 3 09. 566,534 Pixels 10. 150,454 Minions Biggest July Releases (Admissions: 2004~) 01. 17,614,679 Roaring Currents (2014) 02. 13,019,740 The Host (2006) 03. 12,983,341 The Thieves (2012) 04. 11,453,338 Haeundae (2009) 05. 8,487,894 Take off (2009) 06. 7,377,681 Assassination (2015) 07. 7,307,993 May 18 (2007) 08. 6,686,912 The good, the bad, and the weird (2008) 09. 6,396,615 The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 10. 5,926,948 Inception (2010) *= still in theatres Biggest July OW admissions (3 day: 2004~) 01. 3,357,346 Roaring Currents (2014) 02. 2,443,124 Assassination (2015) 03. 2,118,137 Kundo: Age of the Rampant (2014) 04. 2,004,142 The Thieves (2012) 05. 1,992,130 The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 06. 1,989,604 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) 07. 1,734,650 The Host (2006) 08. 1,651,344 The Good, the Bad, and the Weird (2008) 09. 1,542,039 Haeundae (2009) 10. 1,469,622 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) Movies to watch out for in August: Veteran (08/05) Wonderful Nightmare (08/13) memories of the sword (08/13) Beauty Inside (08/20) Fantastic 4 (08/20)

Good strong review. I'm quite excited for this film

Yes his recent films have generally been solid to huge hits Assassination (2015): 7,377,661 admissions The Thieves (2012): 12,983,330 admissions Woochi (2009): 6,136,928 admissions Tazza: The high rollers (2006): 6,847,777 admissions

I'd say the two films has similar WoM but Rogue nation had the bigger opening. Going forward, competition seems to be heavier for rogue nation though and it is at a disadvantage in terms of the exchange rate so I wouldn't lock $50 million just yet, but I think there's a good chance! Ta!

It's weekly drops are amazing and easily the best among the holdovers. I wouldn't be surprised if it surpassed MI5 again soon. Very big fan of Kim Jee-woon's work in The good, the bad and the ugly and apparently Song Kang-ho will take the lead role which is great Very interested in the direction this film will take. Thanks for sharing!

While it's true that summer box office is not an ideal release date for WoM animated films to gather full steam, I don't think it was a wrong decision from DIsney either. Previously, Pixar films had a very lousy track record and there was nothing to indicate that Inside Out would have been any different in which case, getting the most out of summer weekdays when children are resting from school would have been the ideal strategy.

Good drops so far, pretty solid hold from it's OD. But with veteran and Detective Conan set to provide additional competition, holds could turn brutal. There's a fairly good chance it will record a series high. The Tom Cruise brand continues to grow in Korea

In admissions it ranks somewhere between 10-15. Much lower in gross due to the unfavorable exchange rates.

Sorry for my absence, I've been away on vacation so I couldn't update the box office. Thanks to those who kept the thread going! Unfortunately I spent the last 1-2 hrs writing up missing materials but I've lost it all due to a computer shutdown it's too much work to do again tonight but I'll get around to it tomorrow.

Kobis seems to be up on my mobile but not on my PC for some reason. Anyway crap saturday increases... Edit: Kobis is back up on my PC too.

yes, Veteran opens a week later and a week comes after that comes memories of the sword. Very congested!

Watched an 8:30PM showing of MI5 today. My 630 seat theatre was 9/10 full and the crowd loved every minute of it

I think minions has more appeal than turbo.
