Uhm Jeong-hwa’s new movie Best Seller opened strong, but it could not compare to the popularity of Clash of the Titans which remained in the top spot for a third week in a row. Mother-in-Law, listed 10th in the Jeonju Box Office above, officially opens this week. The astrisk indicates that I do not yet have an official English name for KOFIC on that film or Hi Killer. Instead I have opted for literal translations for now. Below are other films that are opening this Thursday.
