. On its heels was political drama-thriller “Kingmaker,” as local titles finally overthrew the long-running “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ahead of a public holiday.
The three-day nationwide box office total was $5.58 million. The figure is an improvement on the previous weekend, but it was also lower than the first three weekends in January. And box office in Korea remains far behind equivalent weekends in pre-COVID times. Considering that the chart was headed by two strongly-anticipated local titles, the weekend upturn barely deflects from a continuing weak outlook.
“Kingmaker,” a drama which charts political machinations in the late 29th century, earned $1.43 million or 36% of the nationwide total. Over its initial five-day run, “Kingmaker” has amassed $2.04 million.
