Infinity War is barely inching higher at the moment, I wonder if they changed the system and there isn't much of an increase now after initial reporting..

Should do alot more I think, the average ticket price was low cause of cultural day right? @Fish&chips @Proxima Olive It was only around 6.3 dollars today.  Normaly it's 8.6?

(LEAD) 'Avengers 3' breaks all-time opening day record in S. Korea

SEOUL, April 26 (Yonhap) -- "Avengers: Infinity War" charted the biggest opening day ever in South Korea with an audience of nearly 1 million, outstripping the first day of last year's local hit "The Battleship Island" (972,161), data showed Thursday.

 

The Marvel superhero flick opened on Wednesday and garnered 976,835 admissions, which is slightly more than 94 percent of all tickets sold in local theaters, the Korean Film Council said.

The film already passed the 1 million threshold in attendance on Thursday morning, according to its local distributor Walt Disney Company Korea.

 

In addition, the new movie had the biggest opening day for the Avengers franchise in the country, supplanting "Avengers: Age of Ultron" seen by 625,666 people on the first day and 10,490,000 in total.

The strongest-ever opening by "Infinity War" had been largely expected as it sold more than 1 million presale tickets for the first time in the country.

 

The third movie in the "Avengers" series brings together 22 heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) to stop the villain Thanos in his quest to destroy half of the world.

The Mummy came out last June and had the record for couple months before local movie Battleship Island release in August and broke it.

I believe the way it worked is The Mummy had the record for a US movie. Now Infinity War is higher than ANY movie in SK.

No, The Mummy broke the record for all films, it just got passed since then by a local one.

1 minutes until we get preliminary results for Day 2 (which should increase a few thousand or more once full results are in later tonight).

 

Some comps: 

 

CW - 474,023

AOU - 649,804

 

Ultron increased 20k from OD but was a Friday not Thursday. CW was Thursday and decreased about 35%

[Stewart]

586,579 (~$4.8m)

 

-40% from yesterday. Slightly more frontloaded than CW

 

Also, The Battleship Island had practically identical OD wednesday, but a smaller thursday (559,467)

I believe it will. Presales have never gone below 1 mil for more than an hour or so since release. This is having a big weekend still
