Robert Pattinson’s ‘Mickey 17’ Dominates Korean Cinemas Once More – Who Knew Vampires Could Be Box Office Kryptonite?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and the ever-curious Bollywood buffs, welcome to another episode of “Hollywood Gossip with Hrishita.” This week, we’re jetting off to South Korea, where the box office is buzzing like a beehive, and our favorite flicks are fighting for the top spot. Grab your popcorn and let’s spill some tea! 🍿😎

So, what’s the news from the land of kimchi and K-pop? Well, hold onto your hats because "Mickey 17" is still reigning supreme at the box office! Directed by the fabulous Bong Joon-ho and featuring the ever-dazzling Robert Pattinson, this sci-fi wonder has reeled in a whopping $3.8 million, securing a massive 65.79% of the market share. Can we get a round of applause for the cosmic hero? 👏✨

Our friends at Kobis (they’re like the box office whisperers in South Korea) tell us that from March 7-9, the top 10 films collectively earned $5.8 million. That’s a bit of a dip from last weekend’s $9 million, but hey, who’s counting when Mickey’s in the house?

"Mickey 17" took audiences on an out-of-this-world adventure with 562,206 admissions across 1,895 screens. And let’s not forget the magic of Imax screenings – talk about a stellar experience! 🚀

Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows is the spine-chilling "Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning," which conjured up $402,927, grabbing 6.87% of the market share. With 384,934 admissions, it’s creeping its way up the charts like a ghost with a plan. 👻

Making its grand debut, "Conclave" snatched the third spot with $337,606 and 51,266 curious minds eager to uncover its secrets. 🎬

In a plot twist, "Plave ‘Dash’ in Cinema" leaped into fourth place, proving that even virtual boy bands can dance their way into our hearts. 32,702 admissions on just 68 screens? Talk about a digital revolution! 💃🕺

Captain America is still in action, with "Brave New World" bringing in $215,635. Superheroes never go out of style, do they? The film’s been fighting the good fight since mid-February, amassing an impressive $11.1 million. 🦸‍♂️

The heart-tugging "It’s Okay!" held its ground in sixth place, earning $146,019. It’s the kind of film that makes you want to hug your loved ones a little tighter. 💖

The documentary "Cheer Up, Korea!" is waving the patriotic flag in seventh place, while "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is sweetly sitting in eighth. 🍏

Our furry friend "Paddington in Peru" is padding along in ninth place, adding a touch of bear-y good charm to the charts. 🐻

And last but not least, "Anora" has made a triumphant return to the top 10 after its Oscar glory. It’s like a Cinderella story, but with more awards and less glass slippers. 🏆

The Moral of the Story: In the wild world of cinema, it’s not just about conquering space or battling ghosts. Sometimes, it’s the unexpected twists and digital dances that steal the show. 🎭✨
