Robert Pattinson, Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Mickey 17’ Leads Korean Box Office as ‘Attack on Titan’ and ‘Snow White’ Chase Close Behind


South Korea’s box office continued its post-peak cool-down this weekend as 'Mickey 17' held on to the top spot for a fourth consecutive frame.

Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi epic, starring Robert Pattinson, brought in $928,843, accounting for 21.2% of the weekend market share, according to Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council. The South Korean thriller, directed by Cho Jang-ho, features Kang as Woo Sang, Korea’s top crime channel streamer on the platform WAG, where only the highest-ranked content creator receives all donation earnings. Based on the long-running TV series, the film, which premiered at Busan last year, follows a salaryman who receives a message from an old friend’s daughter, arrives in Paris and learns of the elderly man’s wish to taste a particular soup he had in his childhood before he dies.
