Olive Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Ryoo concentrates on delivering a solid and uncomplicated script filled with energy and humour; Veteran tackles the corruption associated with Korean conglomerates with a sharp wit and slapstick sensibility.

Rsyu Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Monthly Box office review [July 2015] July Admissions and Gross: 3 year trend 2015Admissions: 23,431,814-Foreign release: 12,196,958-Local release: 11,234,856Gross(KRW): 181.08 billionGross($): $156.58M2015 (Jan-July) total-118,499,527 admissions-942.39B KRW ($845.16M: Estimate)--------------------------------------------2014Admissions: 19,876,781-Foreign release: 9,641,603-local release: 10,235,178Gross(KRW): 155.60B 2014 (Jan-July) total-116,393,413 admissions-897.48B KRW--------------------------------------------2013Admissions: 18,823,802 -Foreign release: 10,308,547-Local release: 8,515,255Gross(KRW): 135.72 Billion2013 (Jan-July) total-117,323,509 admissions-859.80 Billion KRW-------------------------------------------- July box office for 2015 was the biggest July on record, and it's only the second time that the month broke 20 million admissions. 75% of the months admissions came from the top 4 highest grossing films: Assassination, Northern Limit, Inside out and Terminator Genisys. Terminator Genisys started the month strong with a similar opening to Terminator Salvation, and although the final count was considerably lower, it still managed to finish with a respectable sum and gives a good enough platform for future sequels to build on. Inside out was the surprise run of the month, and a contender for the year. A classic word of mouth film that seems to happen more regularly nowadays with the rise of SNS platforms and almost universal usage of smartphones. It's currently 28 days into it's run (by 08/05) and it's lowest number to date came from it's opening day which is an astonishing statistic even after factoring the fact that it's OD wasn't all that high. Currently it's aiming for the KFP series but don't be surprised or disappointed if it comes short, the competition for this summer is unbelievably strong. Northern Limit Line, became the first local film to break 6 million admissions this year and can be considered a mid sized hit which the market had been sorely lacking up to that point. It was extremely well received by the public at large with naver ratings maintaining an average score above 9.0/10.0. Assassination delivered the second biggest opening of the year behind Age of ultron and also the second biggest opening of July behind record breaking hit Roaring Currents from last year. It's currently a lock for 10M admissions and continues the trend of at least one local film reaching 10M admissions in an annual year. Finally, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation opened to a series high admissions and gross and word of mouth seems to be decent. Competition again is the main obstacle but I imagine it has enough in it's tank to beat Ghost protocol and become the most attended/highest grossing film of the series Most Attended films (Admissions: July 2015) 01. 5,419,906 Assassination 02. 4,143,541 Northern Limit Line 03. 3,830,384 Inside Out 04. 3,229,624 Terminator Genisys 05. 980,613 Jurassic World 06. 971,997 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 07. 827,836 The Piper 08. 680,625 Insidious 3 09. 566,534 Pixels 10. 150,454 MinionsBiggest July Releases (Admissions: 2004~) 01. 17,614,679 Roaring Currents (2014) 02. 13,019,740 The Host (2006) 03. 12,983,341 The Thieves (2012) 04. 11,453,338 Haeundae (2009) 05. 8,487,894 Take off (2009) 06. 7,377,681 Assassination (2015) 07. 7,307,993 May 18 (2007) 08. 6,686,912 The good, the bad, and the weird (2008) 09. 6,396,615 The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 10. 5,926,948 Inception (2010) *= still in theatres Biggest July OW admissions (3 day: 2004~) 01. 3,357,346 Roaring Currents (2014) 02. 2,443,124 Assassination (2015) 03. 2,118,137 Kundo: Age of the Rampant (2014) 04. 2,004,142 The Thieves (2012) 05. 1,992,130 The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 06. 1,989,604 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) 07. 1,734,650 The Host (2006) 08. 1,651,344 The Good, the Bad, and the Weird (2008) 09. 1,542,039 Haeundae (2009) 10. 1,469,622 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) Movies to watch out for in August: Veteran (08/05) Wonderful Nightmare (08/13) memories of the sword (08/13) Beauty Inside (08/20) Fantastic 4 (08/20) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Competition is extreme right now it's unreal. Some of you may remember a similar build up from last year during the same period. Roaring Currents was putting up insane numbers but Kundo folded pretty early and The Pirates took some time to build up word of mouth. Sea fog did poor numbers. This year, first Assassination, then MI5 and now veteran are all being well received and box office competition is much more fierce as a result. Inside out went below it's opening day admissions for the first time in it's run, after 29 days of release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad to see VETERAN open well, as WOM will be killer and carry it quite far. Way too early to tell but 10mil isn't out of the question. Then there's MEMORIES OF THE SWORD... Saw it today and it's a total disaster. Granted a film doesn't need my approval to do well but there's no way audiences will go for this, it's a mess... Later this month I expect THE BEAUTY INSIDE to put up strong melodrama numbers, maybe 4-5 million? Then OFFICE could swing 2-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Rysu, am preparing some projections for Minions OS and want to update my projections for Minions in SK (end of run). Can you give me your thoughts? 15m? 20m or more? at least based on the week 1 performance. Thanks in advance. It's not really showing signs of holding well but that's mostly because of the heated competition rather than bad word of mouth. I'm expecting maybe around $11-14 million finish.

Then OFFICE could swing 2-3. two 10 million admission films released within 2 weeks of each other on top of MI5. That would be quite a spectacle. Have you seen The Beauty Inside?

Yeah you're probably right. Detective Conan opens tomorrow though which could take another chunk of the animated film demo.

Have you seen The Beauty Inside? I did, found it rather glib but I think it will play well here. It's a cute gimmick and of course plenty of stars on screen but it also feels like a 125min music video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
