James Cameron's highly anticipated film, "Avatar: Fire and Ash," has made a commanding entrance at the South Korean box office. During its opening weekend from December 19th to 21st, the movie garnered an impressive $10.2 million from 1.3 million ticket sales. This performance accounted for nearly two-thirds of the overall revenue generated across all films during that period, demonstrating its overwhelming popularity and audience draw.
Despite the fierce competition from the new blockbuster, Disney's animated feature "Zootopia 2" held its ground, securing the second position at the box office. The film added $4 million to its cumulative earnings, reaching a total of $41.2 million after four weekends. "Zootopia 2" continued to attract a significant family audience, proving its sustained appeal even with the launch of Cameron's tentpole.
Other films also saw notable performances, including the local animated title "Pororo the Movie: Sweet Castle Adventure" and South Korean comedy-drama "The People Upstairs." Japanese anime features like "Jujutsu Kaisen: Shibuya Incident / Culling Game - The Movie" and "Kokuho" also made appearances in the top ten, showcasing a diverse cinematic landscape in South Korea.
