South Korea Box Office

[Borobudur]

I don't get how people hate this film naturally because of chinese when both lead look like western Chinese instantly.  Unlike Mulan, SC take places in USA and there is no controversial or whatsoever in relation to SC production.

SAT bump seems ok at 125% but the base is too low.

That was before MCU become what MCU is now today.

It is easy to attribute SC underperformance to sourness between Sino-SK, I am worry if this prelude some underlying long term issue like Korean have ditched their theaters and changing in moviegoing behaviour.

Good jump today. Even absolute number of close to 250k isnt that awful.
