Good Friday increases in general. Slow video and Whistle blower is running pretty much neck and neck. The maze runner rebounded very well and there's a good chance that it hits $20 million now. Also, Begin again and Tazza 2 saw softer drops from last weak compared to yesterday's number.

2014 foreign films evaluation and forecast

 

Top Foreign movies of 2014 (Most attended)

01.  10,296,101  Frozen

02.    5,295,929  Transformers: Age of Extinction

03.    4,697,110  Edge of Tomorrow
04.    4,313,446  X-men: Days of future past

05.    4,164,946  The amazing spider-man 2

06.    4,002,539  Dawn of the planet of the apes

07.    3,962,812  Captain america: The winter soldier

08.    3,214,073  Begin again

09.    2,997,691  How to train your dragon 2

10.    2,213,305  The maze runner

 

2014 has been a good year for foreign films. With just under 3 months of the year remaining, foreign movies needs just 4 million more admissions to beat 2013 with the gross already having been surpassed. Add to that, the top 10 for 2014 already looks to have trumped 2013's top 10 list:

 

01.  9,001,309  Iron Man 3

02.  5,237,525  World War Z

03.  3,194,693  Gravity

04.  3,039,889  Thor: The Dark World

05.  3,004,649  Red: The legend

06.  2,856,065  About time

07.  2,718,227  Now you see me

08.  2,707,484  Les miserables

09.  2,539,115  Pacific Rim

10.  2,262,758  The Conjuring

 

The similarities between 2013 and 2014 is the Korean people's love for musical films (Frozen & Les miserables), small budget films becoming surprising hits (about time & Begin again), Sci-fi genre is very much alive (Gravity(?), WWZ, Edge of tomorrow, Dawn of the planet of the apes) and faith in Marvel products. The conjuring reaching the top 10 of the year was a real surprise though. 

 

A quick look at the rest of the year shows which films have the best chance to break in the top 10 for the year. 

 

Anticipation ratings (source: Naver). Red for thumbs up, blue for thumbs down.

 

01. 4170  160  The Hobbit: The battle of the five armies:

02. 3943  144  The Hunger games: Mockingjay pt.1: 

03. 3284  147  Interstellar: 

04. 2439  221  Dracular untold

05. 2034    73  Kill your darling

 

Among the above movies, The hobbit and hunger games have to reach beyond their respective fan bases and capture the hearts of the general public, something that they have failed to do so far in previous films.

Interstellar will hoping for an inception-esque run in Korea although the latter had the advantage of being released during the summer. The Nolan brand is a much bigger draw than it was back then so I'm cautiously optimistic for this film. A run like EoT woudn't be too bad either.

According to THR, Frozen made over $10m on the Internet Video Market in South Korea ;)

http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/v/MoviesNews/InternetVideoMarketS

 

It's not surprising. IPTV has become a major revenue source in Korea, especially over the past couple of years, and more and more studios are looking to exploit it. It's quite a turnaround considering how rampant piracy is here. 

$10 million is a great win for frozen though, equivalent to approximately 1.3million admissions in the theatres.
