3rd Day (Friday)

Captain Marvel     - 413,068 (+32.%)
Ant-Man 2            - 403, 553 (+34.67%)
Thor Ragnarok      - 316,449 (+45.67%)
Venom                  - 245,748 (+35.32%)
Fantastic Beasts 2 - 231,881 (+4.6%)
Suicide Squad       - 219,875 (-13.83%) 
Justice League      - 183,255 (+11.65%) <----deflated od, meaning inflated Thu, meaning deflated fri
Aquaman              - 181,806 (+37%)
Wonder Woman    - 154,172 (+31.87%)

Shazam                  - 70,604 (+26.51%)

 

Not that bad but still not good enough either. Most of the other movies increased in the 30's. Still better than FB2 which had atrocious legs.

 

Btw I have not included movies like Bvs, MoS, Ant Man 1, etc in comparison because they had 4 day OW versus the 5 day OW for Shazam and other movies above. This would mean Friday would have been the 2nd day for these movies and would not have been a fair comparison. 

 

The very best case scenario over the weekend will see Shazam open around 500-525k which would be on par with The Incredible Hulk (4 day OW) with only Captain America 1 being lower overall (Amongst MCU+DCEU). Average DCEU legs will take it to just above 1 million total admissions then.

This feels like a completely random release. The doc released a year ago and most Koreans probably don't know or care for who RBG is.

Shazam                  - 159,711 (125.9%)

 

As I said earlier, it had a good jump today. Bested only by the two ladies above in terms of % jump (there could be other SH movies that jumped even better on their 4th day but I am not gonna calculate it for every movie :P)

 

Total is up to 376,189 admissions. Depending on how it performs tomorrow, it could break the 500k mark. 

 

 

 

 

PS: Suicide Squad was crazy frontloaded over the weekend. It just keeps falling and falling

PPS: Captain Marvel's Saturday was bonkers, over a million admissions!

Why do you think this large jump happened for Shazam? With the toxic word of mouth that Shazam seems to have in Korea it seems odd that it would have any bump there at all.

I don't really know tbh. I guess with a gross so low it's not exactly hard to jump high. Another reason could be that it is doing well on weekends as families go out and see it due to the fact that it is a more light hearted family oriented movie rather than a normal SH movie. 

 

I don't think it is because WoM has suddenly turned very positive. Ratings on both Cgv and Naver has in fact dropped somewhat from opening day. Btw I wouldn't say WoM was ever toxic to begin with. It was not good but definitely not toxic

Yeah my guess would be cause familie audience, being more kid centric.

I would definity also add on the time of the year, it's not summer so bigger jumps from weekdays. Because a big sat jump doesn't mean good legs, atlest it didn't for Captain marvel. (or JW2).

 

But most marvel movie have 'bad' legs now a days but  massive OW's.

[imbruglia]

it's not huge jump at all. you have to look actual numbers too..

because it's easy for movie with small friday number to have better % on sat.

70,675's 100% is 141k, 150% is 176k, 200% is 212k. even it's 300%(=x4) would be lowest on that list.

 

and the biggest problem is not wom or bad review. it doesn't really that much problem for big movie in first week with such huge showing/screens. people simply don't care for this move. there was no talk or interest to see this, zero hype/buzz. this is biggest issue for this movie. 

 

[TalismanRing]

Speaking of big jumps from small numbers

 

Friday to Saturday

 

Dumbo - $24,448 /  $192,468 =  787% jump

 

Theater jump also 89.9%

[Olive]

I read news that AEG will not be rated until 16th, maybe PS will start late like AIW last year.

[imbruglia]

international movies don't have legs. they are heavily driven by first week(and second).

mcu have no leg in here is just myth. and considering mcu have huge OW, it do have good legs.

Sorry but x2 isn't good at all. I know it's mostely how sk works but still it's low.

 

I would still say under 2 multi isn't good and are pretty bad legs. At the start of the mcu legs were better but OW's a lot worse. 

EDIT: miss understood the first part

Shazam Sunday - 124,483 admissions (-22.05%)

 

OW for some SH movies

	3 day OW (FSS)	Full OW
Captain Marvel	2,260,834	3,034,968 (5 day)
Ant Man 2	1,919,447	2,626,042 (5 day)
Suicide Squad	761,975	1,416,968 (5 day)
Batman v Superman	1,148,014	1,386,658 (4 day)
Aquaman	966,240	1,250,060 (5 day)
Man of Steel	1,025,754	1,205,635 (4 day)
Wonder Woman	831,222	1,158,394 (5 day)
Justice League	822,133	1,142,912 (5 day)
The Incredible Hulk	454,061	527,328    (4 day)
Shazam	354,867	500,670     (5 day)
Captain America 1	259,474	322,828     (4 day)

 

The Incredible Hulk and Captain America 1 are the lowest 2 opening MCU movie in SK. Their legs were not good either. So it is likely that Shazam will overtake both of their final gross. In the end Shazam will end up the 3rd lowest grossing SH movie (only MCU+DCEU)

[Lucasmessi12]

South Korea is the worst market for DC movies, so I already expected bad numbers for Shazam here (Aquaman was an exception).
