Korean Box Office: September 16-18
20th September 2011
Arrow: The Ultimate Weapon managed to reclaim it spot as the leader of the box office charts over Marrying the Mafia 4, but just barely. In fact, here in North Jeolla Province, the situation was actually reversed and Marrying the Mafia beat out Arrow by 2 percentage points. It will be interesting to see which of those two films will come out on top next week, or if the new film Dogani –which landed in number 5 with just a test opening–will knock them back when it officially opens this coming Thursday. As predicted, the only new film that opened last week that appeared in the top ten was Shark Night– and I think the only reason it appeared at all was because of the 3D gimmick. Of the new movies opening this week, besides Dogani, the one most likely to appear high in the box office charts is the medical thriller Contagion
