Korea Box Office: Na Hong Jin’s ‘Hope’ Holds Firm at No. 1 as Market Slows The recent box office numbers from South Korea are a stark reminder of the shifting tides in the global film industry.
While Na Hong Jin's sci fi thriller "Hope" continues to dominate local screens, its success belies a more troubling trend: a sharp decline in overall market revenue.
According to data from KOBIS, the total box office haul for the weekend of July 24 26 was $8. 2 million, down by nearly 52% from last week's $17. 1 million.
