Sorry I am late this week, but here is the proper box office listing. Not a whole lot to see… PARADISE MURDERED was No. 1 for another week, but it was hardly an overwhelming victory. Just $8.4 million in ten days.

The Nos. 2 and 3 films are once again a good example of the Seoul/countryside split. Even though THE REAPING won quite handily in Seoul, with 27% better attendance than MY TUTOR FRIEND 2, TUTOR 2 won nationwide by 15%.

Im Kwon-taek’s BEYOND THE YEARS has dropped out of the top-10 already. And 300 is on the verge of doing the same. But for the most part, the industry seems to be treading water until SPIDER-MAN 3 comes out on Tuesday. Oh, and Kim Ki-duk’s BREATH on April 26.
