I don't think the milestone is their main goal - more $$$$ is and the restoration as Pixar as a presence in the marketplace.

I have no idea how theatrical allocation works in SK but Conan debuted on Thur - maybe there was some screen or showing minimum for the first week. 🤷‍♀️

Discounts for Culture Day and also MI7 entering it's 3rd week. Elemental had a higher PSA than any other film in the top 5 - no need to discount it as much.

I wasn't writing it off - I was putting it in historical context. I said it should never have been dropped. Also replying to someone who stated civilian war casualties in China and Korea were 100,000.

Korean site Korbis has no re-release numbers for Interstellar in 2021 (or 2020) in the top 50. SM was the highest grosser at around $44m. They only have it listed for 2014 at 10m admissions and $63m (lower than $70m because they always use local currency and the $ reflects current exchange rates)

Love the train murals

It's weird but at least they weren't covered in inky black CGI like in India - the land of the Kama Sutra - where an on screen kiss is still considered a bit risque.

Japan's war, invasion and occupation in the pacific resulted in the deaths of at least 20 million civilians and that may be a huge underestimation. There are claims that over 50 million Chinese died during the 10 year occupation. In 1937 The Rape of Nanking alone was at minimum 200,000 people murdered (some estimates are up to 300-400k) and 20,000 raped over a 6 week period. The atomic bomb is an incomprehensibly horrific weapon that should never have been dropped but it was dropped in a incomprehensibly horrific war where a minimum of 60 MILLION people died - the overwhelming majority innocent. There were air raid bombings of Japan from 1942-45 where far more civilians died than with the atomic bombs (est: 300k to 900k) . At the time the first atomic bomb was dropped there were still 3,000 people - mostly civilian - killed a day by Japanese forces. The scale of inhumanity, horror and loss is almost unimaginable to people of this era.
