So is it still possible it increases in money since apparently Culture Day prices were discounted?

Yes it almost certainly did. Curiously the ATP started low but finished at the normal ~$7.50 value so maybe presale tickets were cheaper? Anyway last week pulled in 890m won, today would have been around 940m but we'll find out exactly with actuals in half an hour.

It's already at $751,610 from the 11pm update.  Culture Day was $683,538

101,628 admissions today versus 110,284 on Culture Day (-7.8%)

₩983,422,910 today versus ₩889,966,195 on Culture Day (+10.5% in gross)

 

The week-to-week increase streak technically lives on!

That's no cheapie increase either

 

What is the highest grossing Pixar in Korea, TS4 I think? Looks like it's going to pass that while it's still on the upswing

Inside Out had 4.97m admissions, and tbh right now that's looking like the floor

[AniNate]

Ok so yeah probably won't get that far before dropping but still, should easily pass it

[IronJimbo & Sheldon's Son]

12k CGV start again! Another 100k day would be insane but I'm expecting a small drop since Thursday seems to be a bit weaker than Wednesday for Elemental based on its history in @druv10's chart

That would be an incredible achievement. Only 4 animated films have ever crossed 5 million admissions. Suzume, Kung Fu Panda 2, and then the two Frozens with over 10 million admissions each.

[IronJimbo & Sheldon's Son]

27,992 total presale count for Thursday (versus 29,457 yesterday, ~26k Tue and ~20k Mon). Looks like we are gonna get another small Wed -> Thu drop but still looking good for a >20% week on week increase.

Does that mean CGV ratio will be a bit weaker on thursday cause yesterday it needed 2 hours to get to 13k (at 02:20) vs (01:20) today.

 

Also great PS increase once again. It managed to get 99k vs 88.6k last week. Will be hard to predict the weekend, don't know if friday can jump that crazy I again, I actualy doubt that. Then again a weaker friday jump should give room for a better saturday jump. What ever is does the weekend will definitly be up at min 10% matching the stronger ps. 20% + would be amazing.

Yeah I think the CGV ratio is starting a little higher today, maybe 44% for now. I also noticed that the ATP at the beginning of the day is $7.14 so I'm guessing presale tickets are cheaper than walkups which is probably true since over here in the UK for example it's £1 cheaper to book online versus buy at the cinema at some chains.

It's rare for a movie to have three consecutive weeks in which the total weekly admissions increased. Other films that accomplished this feat include Frozen (released January 2014) and The First Slam Dunk (released January 2023), but they both benefited from having Lunar New Year in their third week.

Great start to the day!

 

Remember last Thursday was 73,648 so we're over halfway to that total with the first report of the day. Streak which was stopped yesterday will begin again with a healthy increase over the previous week.

Thanks for finding these! Slam Dunk ended with ~4.7m admissions after having 1.58m after week 3, which would be equivalent to over 7m admissions for Elemental's finish. Frozen in comparison was much more frontloaded, ending with 10.3m, not even 2x its 6.5m number at week 3! A similar run for Elemental would point to only 3.8m admissions. Hopefully it behaves more like the former than the latter.

This says that summer vacation for South Korea is from mid July to Mid August...

 

does this mean Elemental's  weekdays will be better next week?

Walkups so far have been 10.5% fewer than yesterday (16,664 by 1pm vs. 18,608 same period yesterday). In total there were 72,203 walkups yesterday so 89.5% of that would be 64.6k. Adding that on to the 28k in presales gives 92.6k as the final number for today. At this stage though it's a bit early and afternoon/evening business makes a huge difference as we saw on Tuesday. For now I think 85-95k is a decent range for today.

 

Edit: Several hours later and it's pretty much the same (42,505 vs. 47,565). Still running at around 89.5% of Wednesday's walkups, thinking low 90ks is looking good.

I just took a peek at what killed inside out in Korea, because that movie had a 38% jump on second weekend compared to it's opening weekend.

 

IO had a 3.4m opener in its 3rd weekend, resulting in a 26% drop. Follow by a 51.5% drop in its 4th weekend facing MI5 with an opening of 2.5m and minions opening to 1m. So basicly 2 times rougly 3.5m admission in competition + a direct competator in minions. I would say this show how 1 big movie will hurt a movie a bit, I am expecting the same type of drop (25% - 30%) vs MI. Having 2 weeks of big competition is very bad for showtimes.

 

The good news is I think Elemental will have 1 week to recover showtimes vs barbie (if that movie doesn't break out) before the DOM blockbuster arrives.

 

Side note 27th of July was the start for the holidays in 2015, in that trend this years should start at 24th and this would make sense with the release of the DOM summer blockbuster. (Hopefully a week earlier though).
