Yeah, my top 10s of the last few years have been dominated by low-budget fare. Was particularly taken with A GIRL AT MY DOOR and A DREAM OF IRON this year. A MIDSUMMER'S FANTASIA and MADONNA, which both open in the next few weeks, are also terrific.

 

Still love commercial cinema though! HAEMOO was easily the best mainstream Korean film of last year.

Jurassic World to do well despite MERS scare?

movie_image.jpg

 

It seems that despite the recent adverse effect the MERS virus outbreak seems to have had on the box office, Jurassic World is one film that remains somewhat immune, with presales already having reached up to 98.5K admissions ahead of it's Thursday release this week. The popularity of the Jurassic Park series in Korea however, is not a new phenomenon and it's roots can be traced back to it's original release during the 90s. Nationwide figures aren't readily available for this era but Seoul admissions puts JP1 and JP2 at 1,063,352 and 1,001,279 admissions respectively (JP3 is a little lower at 518K admissions in Seoul). Generally, nationwide numbers on average range between 2-4 times the Seoul number so we can roughly estimate that JP1 and 2 did around 3 million admissions nationwide which were pretty big numbers for the time. Moreover, it also places them both in the top 10 most attended films of the 90s list.

 

Top 10 most attended films of the 1990s (Seoul Admissions)

01. 2,448,399 Swiri (1999)

02. 1,971,780 Titanic (1998)

03. 1,683,265 Ghost (1991)

04. 1,200,000 The Lion King (1994) (estimate)

05. 1,170,252 Armageddon (1998)

06. 1,118,583 Cliff Hanger (1993)

07. 1,114,916 The Mummy (1999)

08. 1,063,352 Jurassic Park (1993)

09. 1,035,741 SeopYeonje (1993)

10. 1,001,279 The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

 

Of course this is no guarantee that Jurassic World will be received as well as the previous installments, especially with the MERS scare that's ongoing. But with excellent reviews coming in from overseas, hopefully Jurassic World can be received well in Korea too and be the catalyst in kick starting this box office which looks dead on it's feet right now.

I can see Jurassic World getting a great 2nd week hold (maybe even an increase) because MERS may well be in the back of people's minds this coming weekend, but barring something immensly unforeseen, will be almost forgotton by next weekend I think.

I am assuming this is not great.

 

Anything above 8 is pretty good.

This is probably a pretty decent opening for JW ?

I've just noticed there is no Hollywood based competion for this for like 2-3 weeks.

 

Happy to see Minions is coming out in July and not facing the typical September based slow death of an animation. (didn't see a release date for Inside Out though, so that may be doomed to a death slot opening in the Autumn :( )

Inside out is coming out July 9. Whether that does anything to help it's chances remains to be seen. Pixar has such a poor track record in Korea.. Edited by Rsyu

That's good to see at least. I couldn't find a release date on lotte yet.

 

This doesnt mean that both won't get 'Home'd though. Although my students seem to be excited for Minions so I'm hopeful that could at least manage a Big Hero level run

It is overall a big improvement on the Monsters UNi Despicalble Me 2 debacle of 2012

BH6 actually did really well for an animated film so both films will do really well to replicate that kind of run. 

 

I fear for minions, it's release date is the week where a lot of the heavy hitting local films are released (RC last year) and I see this year being the same. It's already sharing the same release date as MI:RN and I see further films being scheduled their. Also, DM isn't a popular series here either surprisingly enough (just 1million admissions apiece for DM 1 & 2) so the logic would suggest that Minions won't do that well either.
