GvK PS are very low. KoTM did poorly but Skull Island did really well. @imbruglia any specific reason for being low.

I'm just guessing here but right now South Korea and Japan relations are not good. Godzilla being a Japanese icon also explains why Skull Island may have done better. A counter point to what I've just said is Demon Slayer (although that didn't start off particularly well either and has just been super leggy)

DS naver point is quite high, 9.64 now.

non Asians.. please don't do this in Asia. this is buddhist greeting.. you only do it to monk or in buddhist temple or in buddhist country. korea and many asia countries are not.

Parasite is at 116k presale already, Aladdin 56k/ KoTM 19k.

Around 3 hours later comparatively GvK is 22K. KoTM opened on Culture day at 88K. 

 

That weirdly feels high for that low pre-sales since I never really tracked Korea outside Disney films. @WandaLegion how does it look to you?

 

If it can get 80K ($650K) OD, I will be content. Weekend hopefully 550-600K ($4.5-5M)

I think PSm has been pretty depressed during the pandemic, though don’t know what last two weeks have been like on virus front.
 

GvK still has one more day of PS before opening on Th, so maybe 35k final KOBIS, something like 60k OD. Would be surprised for 4day to go over 300k I guess.

35k final KOBIS seems low to me from here. It added 7.5K today. Shall add 16K tomorrow atleast. Now that I typed it, that will be still 38K only. I was hoping for 40K.

 

But yeah 60-70K seems more likely. 

 

60

70

150

130 // 410

 

Atleast give me that.

Godzilla is simply not that much known or popular here. nobody is boycotting that for being japan thing. 

I doubt many people know that.

 

for boxoffice.

1. lack of big hollywood star and second one faced "Parasite" and "Aladdin" at the time. 

2. Monster thing doesn't appeal to female audience which is huge factor in Korea.

3. really really bad reviews.

 

Godzilla (709,734) - 70% CGV egg / 61.4% male, 38.6% female

Godzilla kotm (359,041) - 78% CGV egg / 66.7% male, 33.3% female 

 

Kong Skull Island(1,689,717) 90% CGV egg / 53.1% male, 46.9% female.

 

Now Kong had Tom Hiddleston who is big name here and samuel jackson.

Also "King Kong" name and image is widely known.

zero competition at the time. it had no leg tho. (1M admission in first 5 days but..)
