South Korea Box Office

[chasmmi]

Apes has certainly put itself in a position that if Dragon or Kundo look like faltering, it will be given screens back in a flash.

[chimpo]

I have high hopes for HTTYD 2 in South Korea, so please don't let me down.

[Blackout]

Just watched this movie called Deranged. Nice movie.

Judging from presales Kundo will open somewhere between 300-400k admissions. HTTYD2 probably won't go over 200K admissions OD so I think 140-190K admissions OD for it.

So that would be better or worse than first HTTYD?

So that would be better or worse than first HTTYD?

 

The opening day for HTTYD was 51,928 so it will definitely improve on that. 

[Rsyu]

Just came out of my HTTYD2 viewing. It was surprisingly empty, only about 1/10 full. It's a smallish theatre near my home with 701 seats divided among 2 screens but I've seen it full for previous films such as Days of future past and edge of tomorrow. Most of the business seemed to be focused towards Kundo. Hopefully the business at other bigger theatres was more lively.

Kundo killed all the competition. It's strange because HTTYD2 had similar presales to Dawn of the planet of the apes prior to release and it's still hovering around a similar number on OD yet it's admissions suck for some reason. Kundo presales dipped by a noticeable margin while HTTYD2 increased by about 12.5% today. This may suggest that HTTYD2 is loaded towards the weekends when family audiences are at their strongest.

Kundo records the biggest OD of 2014. You usually only see those kind of numbers on weekends..

[tupek]

I really love when local films triumph in their respective countries!

[efialtes76]

Kundo records the biggest OD of 2014. You usually only see those kind of numbers on weekends..

Second best OD ever only behind Snowpiercer(595k).

But WOM isn't good.

 

Naver ratings:

 

HTTYD2:9.46

Apes 2:8.56

Kundo:6.80
