A bit of a change starting this week, as I will be reporting weekly revenue instead of attendance. Seems like the more relevant stat to me. But if something significant happens to a movie’s attendance (like topping 10 million admissions), I will try to mention it.

The Korean won is worth about 940 won/dollar, so you can approximate the chart to millions of dollars easily enough.

Let me know if you have any feedback, questions, concerns with the change.
