Mixed in some of the more recent ones 1. The Wailing (2016): 99% fresh on RT if that means anything to you. Hardly any Korean film gets rated on RT. Caution though, the weirdness level of this film is off the charts. 2. Veteran (2015): Highlights very well the problem with "Chaboel" in Korean society and the acting is really good. 3. Miss Granny (2014): Comedy film about a granny who becomes young again after a photo shoot. 4. Luck-key (2016): Sleeper hit from 2016. I found it hilarious but not sure if the humor will strike home for a foreign audience. 5. The Good, the Bad and the weird (2008): Western themed film based in Korea. One of my all time faves.

My guess is, a lot of the schools for children (elementary-high school) start around the end of July so the films that showed small drops this week, are films that appeal to that generation. And among them, the smaller grossing films naturally show less volatility (DM3 vs Crayon shin chan/SMH)

The Battleship Island is getting a lot of negative press and social media attention. It probably won't have such good legs.

Spider-Man: Homecoming passed 7M admissions today at 4:50PM. Another home run for Marvel in SK.

Audience score The Battleship Island: 8.70 (109 votes) Despicable me 3: 9.56 (62 votes) Netizen score The Battleship Island: 5.41 (6760 votes) Despicable me 3: 9.31 (157 votes) Big discrepancy between audience score and netizen score for battleship Island. It skewed heavily towards the "1 rating" even before the morning showings started. It's also getting increasingly negative media coverage in regards to the amount of screens it has taken.

Today (wednesday) is also culture day in Korea. The Battleship Island may break some records...

The battleship Island will be considered a flop if it doesn't pass 10M admissions IMO, it has a lot going for it. Dunkirk is definitely benefiting from having Nolan's name behind it. I think it would have done much better numbers outside of the holiday frame though.
