What Happened

According to data from the Korean Film Council (KOBIS) tracking service, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' was the No. 1 movie at the South Korean box office for the weekend of May 8–10. It earned $1.3 million from 195,513 admissions, capturing a 28.08% revenue share. The film has reached a cumulative gross of $8.2 million since its debut on April 29.

The science-fiction film 'Project Hail Mary' placed fourth, adding $496,088 to its $21.4 million total.

Why this Matters to You

If you enjoy going to the movies, this data shows which films are currently resonating with audiences in South Korea. The strong performance of both a major Hollywood sequel and a local horror film suggests a diverse range of popular entertainment is available. The overall market decline from the previous week may indicate a quieter period for new releases, which could affect your choice of films in the coming weeks.

What's Next

The continued strong cumulative totals for several films, including 'Salmokji : Whispering Water' and 'Project Hail Mary', suggest they may have extended theatrical runs. Newer releases like 'Mortal Kombat II' and the Japanese drama 'All Greens' will be films to watch in subsequent weekends to see if they gain traction.
