I really thought Godzilla would be higher

 

They haven't marketed it well in Korea. I have yet to see a poster or a trailer of Godzilla outside of the theatres. Also it suffered from some controversy a while back when they used the Japanese Imperialist flag to decorate the poster a while back which could have played a role. With the Japanese-Korean relations being at an all time low, it wasn't well received.

TASM2 weekly breakdown

Week 1: 1,662,187 
Week 2: 1,240,287 (-25.3%)
Week 3: 1,040,443 (-16%)

Week 4: 50,869 (As of tuesday) 

 

I estimate week4 to be around 250K admissions maybe even less depending on how it fares against competition.

It's the low end of my predictions. There's a chance new releases aren't well recieved in which case it could hold better.I doubt it will happen though, weekdays could fall below 20k with new releases. Edited by Rsyu

exchange rate: 1USD=1025.5 KRW

 

TASM2 crosses 4M admissions. it can be considered a success now I think, despite doing less than the first. It's the 2nd highest grossing hollywood film of 2014. The fatal encounter fell heavily and is now behind The target. WoM caught up with it I guess but it should still pass 5M admissions. Grand budapest hotel is still in the top 10 which is amazing since it was released on march 20th. Crazy staying power!  :o

Whew! at least it crossed 4m admissions. Cap 2 never did get there did it?

that is nothing to be proud of because CA2 deserved it a LOT more than spidey.

 

Setting aside the argument which movie was better and deserved it more etc, any foreign release managing more than 4 million admissions is a pretty impressive feat. only 32 hollywood films have managed it before TASM2 crossed the mark. However, you could argue that CA:TWS was more impressive since it increased 8-fold over the first avenger.

4M admissions

 

Currently a foreign release would have to surpass TASM's 4.83 million admissions to break into the top 20. Top 10 would need to beat Lord of the Rings: Return of the King which is ranked #10 with 5.96 million admissions. Films that pass the 10M admission mark are considered mega-hits and to date, only 11 movies (foreign + local) total and only 2 foreign releases has reached this mark.

Pacific Rim had a pretty huge OW. I can't see Godzilla matching it.

With the DoFP released next week, it won't match PR's total either. 

No movie is really dominating at the moment maybe DoFP can change that.
