CA: TWS -34% from last Thursday

TGBH -30%

[fmpro]

Still a great drop for cap

[Peeta Tong Karanasios]

Is it too early yet for maleficent to get a release date or not?

And do you think it can make good money in south korea or not?

Oz last year did $2.5m

Alice did $18m

[Rsyu]

Good hold for TWS in face of competition from new releasesIt will win the weekend too

[Sam]

I searched up about The Fatal Encounter and saw that it starred Hyun Bin, is that like his return to the big screen for the first time since getting out of the army?

 

From what I know, South Korea loves him (I'm also a fan), I could see that movie being huge, which is great, cause that's overdue. We haven't seen a truly big local release for months.

Yes, this is his first film since 2011. Hyun bin will of course be the main draw but there are many other popular actor/actresses besides him and if the story line is good enough then it could break out big time  

 

You're right about a good local movie being overdue, the last one to do any decent numbers was miss granny way back in January. Local films need to recover if the box office is to increase over the previous year, hollywood films alone won't do it. 

 

Have you seen any of hyun bin's previous works??

I watched quite a few of his TV works: My name is Kim Sam Soon, Snow Queen, Worlds Within (though I dropped that one quite early) and of course Secret Garden (I'm also a fan of Ha Ji Won) On the movies front, I think the only one of his I've watched is A Millionaire's First Love.

Well, you've watched more than me I think I've only watched a millionaire's first love and secret garden.

 

Many ladies over here are gaga over him  females in the 20-30 age group will probably be a strong demo for Fatal.

 

I'm a huge huge fan of Ha Ji Won it's great that you know so many Korean actors

I'm a big fan of the Korean culture: music, cinema, variety/reality shows, I've watched all kinds so yeah, I know a lot. Sounds a bit weird but the one celebrity in SK I want to meet the most is Yoo Jae Suk. What a man. Ha Ji Won is a great actress, and she's so down to earth and beautiful

Really it doesn't sound weird at all, there's a reason he's the most popular celebrity in Korea even though he's not that good looking or anything. I'd love to meet him

 

Ha Ji Won is probably the only actress in Korea who can play the kind of roles she does (lead female role in an action film), and yet she excels in other genres too such as drama, comedy, romance etc.
