Hey if you can find your way to a cinema near Bundang :) But don't you go telling folks here how awful my Korean is, my only claim to fame on this site is being the token Korean (despite being British, white and well thinking about it, if its good enough for Hollywood... :D )

haha well anyone can be anything!! :D:D

the current record holder for the top grossing R-rated movie is a local film called "Inside Men" by dir. Woo Min-Ho which did about 9M admissions.

Snowpiercer did slightly more than that but it managed to get a PG-13 rating here. (15+) which is weird cause I've always thought it also got an R here.

basically in Korea it's rather hard to get an R rating solely for violence but the rating is very strict for sex scenes or thematic elements that are not "comfortable" for those old people in the ratings board. (Carol got an R with a warning for the "potential bad influence for juveniles.") 

 

you mean 내부자들? according to Kobis it managed around 7m admissions not 9.

oh right, I didn't really follow that run. Pretty amazing run considering it's a R-rated film!

Sing Street would breakout in a similar way Begin Again did and work that John Carney magic, the WOM seems really really good!

at least I hope it hits 1M.

9M is dead for CW, horrendous legs much worse than AoU. Ratings are much higher but legs worse, any reason Rsyu?

 

Yjs came up with a pretty plausible explanation on pg 375. I'm inclined to agree.

 

Still, it's double what CA2 did and continues the trend of all Marvel sequels increasing over the previous film so not all doom and gloom :)
