Seen in Jeonju

Korean Box Office: January 21-23

23rd January 2011

With the new year, I have decided to change what information I report in these weekly box office posts. Since 2007, I had been including the box office results of Jeonju along with the national totals.  In the past, there was often a significant difference between the two however, more recently, this difference has all but disappeared. By eliminating the Jeonju list, I can expand what information I can show in the limited space I have. Therefore, along with the rank, movie title, percentage of sales in the current week, and total tickets sold to date, I can now add the number of screens, and the opening date of the film for a clearer and more accurate comparison.  The change from week to week is listed last.  I will still mention Jeonju’s box office results from time to time if there is something noticably different from the national trend.  The photo in the background of each chart I post  will continue to be from a still from that week’s number one movie. Below are this weeks results.

As I have only been back in Korea for two days after a month of travelling, I have not seen any of these films.  I will have to work on that during this week.  Below is a list of other movies that will be in theaters this week.
