Korea Box Office: ‘Wonka’ on Top With $5.6 Million Opening


The late release of "Wonka" provided a modest lift for the South Korean box office in a traditionally slow season.

Timothee Chalamet-starring fantasy “ Wonka ” claimed the top spot in the weekend’s South Korean box office chart, in an opening that was nearly two months later than many other territories. “Wonka” earned $3.97 million between Friday and Sunday in Korea, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). “Citizen of a Kind,” a comedy-drama about a woman who takes matters into her own hands after becoming the victim of a scam, and which topped the box office chart a week earlier, slipped 36% to second place.
