They often have old films in the cinemas, sometimes different ones at the same time

1 or 2 weeks back might have been a Meg Ryan thing, as at least 2 titles I am sure about she is the female lead in it. Sometimes even older...

They have an interesting mix in their program

2016 ends up breaking all-time record 1743B Korean Won, +1.6% from last year.

In Admissions, 2016(217,013,809) is just 300K behind last year.
