Fullbuster Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 But last year you had Intouchables with almost 20M.Indeed but it's very rare, 2012 proved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 2012 will be biggest year of Korea box office historyonly need 4.7 million admissions to top last year's record.Local movies share is 58%, very healthy.The problem SK has though is that filmmakers are screwed when the cinema release ends. THere is next to no secondary income from DVD sales and the like.So when a film like Masquerade makes $70M at the boxoffice, it will still barely make it past $90 or $100M in total revenue (unless it breaks out in a foreign market.A Korean film will never be saved by the DVD release like Hollywood and European films can be. In fact I think most Korean films sell more DVD copies in the UK than they do in Korea (I have no proof of this final statement though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Weak +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 But Quantum of solace OD was only 100k, on a Wednesday.Anyway, Skyfall should do around same numbers(800-900k) as Quantum's 5-day opening(822k).Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
