“Avatar: The Way of Water” enjoyed the highest box office takings in Korea over the weekend and reclaimed the top spot after falling to second place a week earlier. But Japanese animation film “The First Slam Dunk,” now in its fourth weekend on release, was the most watched film of the frame and outscored the Hollywood fantasy in terms of ticket sales.
“Avatar 2” earned 2.20 million in its eighth weekend of release. That gives it a cumulative score of 107 million, earned from 10.4 million admissions. Over the latest weekend it sold 187,000 tickets.
Local media in Korea rank films by admissions, rather than revenues, and show “Avatar 2” in third place behind both “The First Slam Dunk” and “The Point Men.”
“Avatar 2” is the winner in revenue terms due to its significantly higher ticket prices, an effect boosted by its dominance of Imax and premium format venues.
