Korea Box Office: ‘Gladiator II’ Claims Debut Weekend Victory, no Triumph
“Gladiator II” topped the box office in South Korea through its opening sessions, but did little to transform the dismal trend in Korean cinemas.
The Ridley Scott-directed sequel earned $2.31 million between Friday and Sunday, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). Its opening weekend figure was below that of several other Hollywood spectacles released in Korea this year, including “Wonka,” “Kung Fu Panda 4,” “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story,” “Deadpool and Wolverine” “Alien” Romulus” and “Venom: The Last Dance.” But it was stronger than the recent “Red One,” which fell to 18th place in its second weekend of release in Korea. “Gladiator II’s” weekend figure represented a creditable 40.6% of Korea’s nationwide theatrical business between Friday and Sunday.
