Korea Box Office: ‘Exhuma’ Reaches $58 Million, Easily Holds Off ‘Dune 2’


'Exhuma' extended its lead as the top-grossing film of the year in South Korea, with a third weekend win, far ahead of 'Dune 2.'

“ Dune 2 ” added $2.63 million in its second weekend in South Korea, but the sci-fi fantasy remained a long may short of the year’s runaway winner, “ Exhuma,” which has dominated and dynamized box office for three weeks. “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 $6.52 million between Friday and Sunday, representing a 67% share of the overall box office market, according to data from tracking service Kobis, 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 $93,000 in its fourth weekend in Korea.
