This week, we have one Korean film opening in theaters and it will be a strong contender for the first place slot on the weekend box office charts despite how strongly Nameless Gangster has been performing.  The film is Howling, directed by Yoo Ha and featruing two exceptional stars in the leading roles, Song Kang-ho and Lee Na-yeong.  The movie is based on an award-winning Japanese novel with the English title of Hunter written by Asa Nanomi in 1996.

But while this is the only Korean film opening this week, there are other movies including the critically acclaimed US film, The Artist. Other films include Fay Grim (us), Descendants (us), Ghost Rider 3D (us), One For the Money (us), The Grey (us) and Woman in Black (uk/ca).
