Sam Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I hope Fatal Encounter is a hit. Cause it's always good to see local movies thriving. That and I'm a fan of Hyun Bin and wants to see him score big at box office 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 SK Daily Box Office (04/28) The Amazing spider-man 2 continues to track behind TASM dropping -26% compared to TASM's first monday. CA: TWS drops -43% compared to last week. I thought The amazing spider-man 2 being released would kill captain america's legs completely but the sub-par performance of the former has allowed the latter to keep having respectable drops. If it continues the same pattern of drops it could just barely pass 4m admissions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) How much Rio 2 can do? Maybe $5-10m if it's lucky.Don't be surprised if it does less though, blue sky studio animation isn't all that popular here. Rio did $4.3m, all the ice age films did $5-10M so I'd say that's the range. Edited April 28, 2014 by Rsyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 SK Daily Box Office (04/29) TASM2 drops -30.3% compared to TASM's admission on the same day. It will pass the 2M admissions mark by thursday. Captain america meanwhile reclaimed 2nd spot over broken, squeezing past 3.9M admissions total in the process. Holidays are coming up in South Korea, lasting up to 6 days depending on whether you take a day off from work on friday (many do). It starts on thursday this week and ends on tuesday next week. It's really good period for movies in general, and Spider-man and The fatal encounter especially really must take full advantage of it. The fatal encounter's presales are huge at the moment and all signs point to a massive OD Presales top 4 (Accounting for 92.9% of presales) 1. The Fatal encounter: 151,526 (58.6%) 2. TASM2: 48,187 (18.6%) 3. The Target: 27,662 (10.7%) 4. Rio 2: 14,126 (5.5%) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Midterms ended today so I caught a late viewing of The fatal encounter. I'd like to share some of my thoughts on the film. -It's long (135 minutes). It feels long too, which is the bigger problem. There were a lot of flashing smartphone lights around me from people checking the time. -The plot is too convoluted. The story keeps switching back and forth from different times and it can be difficult to follow. It kills the tension building up too. -Some great acting from the cast, especially Hyun-bin and Jung Jae-young. They truly carried the film. Overall I'd give it a B. Good acting, interesting theme but overall poor script and direction. I'd hesitate to call it a failure but I don't think it's one of those films people will want to go back and see more of. Definitely no where near as satisfying as miss granny was which is disappointing. Naver ratings (6.93/10) generally reflect this. People will still go to see this to see the actors though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 SK Daily Box office (04/30) The Fatal Encounter delivers the biggest OD of 2014. Expect good numbers throughout the holidays. The Target's opening was less than impressive. All the buzz went to The fatal encounter and seems to have killed this film. TASM2 held well against competition from new releases, almost staying flat over yesterday. Overall admissions are down -7.5% compared to TASM having played a day more. CA: TWS drops -48.2% compared to LW. It's crawling towards 4m admissions 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 April-3 year trend (admissions) 2012: 11,993,363 2013: 11,259,977 2014: 9,199,126 2014 box office from January to April is down -4.4% compared to 2013. Lack of breaking out movies (last year had 5 films released before or during April that exceeded 4M admissions, this year there's 3), the Sewol ferry disaster, and the general consensus that there's nothing interesting to see at the theatres has made the number of people going to see films decrease, particularly over the months of march and april. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 2013 was also exceptionally big, generally when a peak is reached the box office can't go much further (in most countries it was 2001). Yeah 2013 was huge, biggest year on record. Decrease is only by 3M admissions though, 2014 should hit 200M admissions again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) SK Daily Box Office (05/01) Great increases for the top 3 films, not so good for the films below it. The fatal encounter saw a great increase to take top spot for the second day in a row. TASM2 also rose and is now past 2M admissions. It is now only 6% behind in admissions compared to TASM having played a day more. From the looks of things competition hasn't hurt it as much as it was originally feared. Rio2 debuts in 4th place. It will be the only family-animation film for quite some while so there's a high possibility it will increase over Rio. CA:TWS had over 60% of it's screens cut today leading to it's largest drop ever, a massive 72.7% drop. Edited May 1, 2014 by Rsyu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
