South Korea Box Office

[Olive]

Olive, do you know how much Resident Evil has grossed so far in South Korea? I'm really surprised that it hasn't made anything like the last one when every other country in Asia opened higher than the last.

550k admissions, $4.2M.

[StephenN18]

I wonder why the movie hasn't done as well in South Korea? I mean, the last one was the biggest film there in 2010, so I don't get it. Thanks for letting me know the gross Olive.

I do not know if the number of South Korean admissions are very high or the number of Spanish admissions are very low, but the fact is that South Korea sells about 65-70% more admissions than Spain, having both a very similar population and a similar GDP per capita and Korean people probably have more expensive tickets than us. Interesting. Edited October 3, 2012 by peludo

Just to remind, Olive is Chinese, not Korean.

Yes, ticket price is the reason.

Even Australia is likely to sell more tickets this year compared to Spain and we have half the population. Mind you, our economy is doing so much better, so it's not inexplicable.

So, the same than Spain. I did not remember that in between 2001 and 2004, with favorable economical situation, Spain sold between 137 and 147 million admissions. Closed case.
