Korea Box Office: ‘Exhuma’ Expands in Second Week, Overshadows ‘Dune 2’ Debut


Occult thriller, 'Exhuma' expanded in its second weekend of release and overshadowed the opening of 'Dune 2' at the Korean box office.

“Exhuma,” about two shaman, a feng shui master and a mortician who attempt to undo the mysterious events happening to a U.S.-based Korean family, earned $17.2 million between Friday and Sunday, representing a 69% share of the overall box office market. That gave “Exhuma” a $43.5 million total since its debut in theaters on Feb. 22, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). Japanese animation, “Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training,” the latest feature in the film and TV franchise, weakened to $240,000 in its third weekend in Korea.
