thx for the info

I didnt want to post it elswhere until I 100% knew its not written in Japanese or chinese 

yep I know it would not make much money (the awards & critic raves is enough for me  )

 

 

btw watched "Cold eyes" yesterday

OKish movie I guess but I wasnt that involved in evens of it though the main girl's relationship with her mentor was pretty great

Btw can ppl here post some recs like their top fav 10 of Korean movies or somthing? I really lag behind on these

 

JSA

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

The Host

My Sassy Girl

Oldboy

 

The Good, the Bad the Weird,

Welcome to Dongmakeoul

Three Iron

Thirst

King and the Clown

 

 

Essentially a good starting block is:

 

Anything directed by Park Chan Wook or Bong Joon Ho

 

Anything starring Song Kang Ho or Choi Min Sik

Chasmmi's list is pretty great although I'm a little meh towards Thirst. My personal favourites are Miracle in cell no.7 (comedy drama), Memories of Murder (Crime, Mystery), Taegukgi: Brotherhood of war (Film about war between north and south), The Chaser (thriller/action), The host (action/thriller) and masquerade (period drama film). I'm a little biased to specific genres though so here's a list that were popular among the Korean masses by genre for reference.

Daily numbers decreased for Gangnam Blues but increased for Big Hero 6. Given the current ratings for both films on Naver I think there's a good chance Big Hero 6 wins the weekend. 

[druv10]

That seems pretty good for BH6.

YES, I also think BH6 will take the weekend eventually. hate on it regarding its pro-japanese empire stance rumor is getting cleared up, reviews and WOM are both good, stronger than Gangnam Blues'. and presales numbers are better too. Besides, it's a family movie after all.

friday number was lower than presales yesterday. So it appears most of the pre-sales are for the weekend. Can it increase like 120%+.

The mismatch between presales and actual box office numbers is huge right now, I thought BH6 would beat Gangnam today to be honest.

 

It's one of 2 possible scenarios. Either most of the presales for BH6 is concentrated towards the weekend like you say, or walk up business for BH6 is really really bad.

Koreans, watch BH6 and imitate Japan or I will come to kick your asses :ph34r:

walk-up can be bad but it cannot be negative and so pre-sales must be weekend heavy. We will know tomorrow for sure.

Presales are always weekend heavy no matter what the movie. They always reach a peak at midnight Friday and the lowest point on midnight Sunday. I still think BH6 will win the weekend (those presales must count for something) but if it doesn't have good walk ups, then legs won't be good.
