Data from the Korean Film Council’s Kobis tracking service shows the film garnered an 87% market share over the weekend, as it lifted nationwide box office to pre-COVID levels for the first time in more than two years. Given that before the pandemic South Korea was the world’s fourth largest theatrical market, the possibility of a rebound has global significance.
On its Wednesday debut, “Doctor Strange” clocked $5.81 million of gross revenues, earned from 715,000 admissions. The following day, known as the Children’s Day holiday in Korea, the film earned $8.85 million from 1.06 million admissions. No film has enjoyed over a million admissions in a day in Korea since November 2019 when “Frozen” achieved the feat on its tenth day of release.
Inside five days, “Doctor Strange” has become the biggest film of 2022 in Korea by a huge margin. Second place belongs to 2021 release “Spider Man: No Way Home” with $15.3 million earned in 2022. Third place in 2022 belongs to “The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure” with a career total of $9.86 million.

South Korea: North Korea Test-Fired Missile From SubmarineSouth Korea’s military says North Korea has flight-tested a ballistic missile that was likely fired from a submarine, continuing a provocative streak in weapons demonstrations that may culminate with a nuclear test in the coming weeks or months. The launch came three days after South Korea and Japan detected a suspected ballistic missile fired from near the North Korean capital. Both exercises come ahead of the inauguration on Tuesday of South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol, who has vowed to take a tougher approach over the North’s nuclear ambitions. So far this year, North Korea has fired missiles 15 times. Experts say leader Kim Jong Un appears to be preparing to test a miniaturized nuclear device that it can use to arm its submarine-launched missiles.
