"April Snow" Starring Bae Yong-joon Beats Hollywood Movies in Japan

The popularity of the movie "April Snow", starring Bae Yong-joon and Son Ye-jin, has surpassed that of Hollywood blockbusters in Japan. The Nikan Sports wrote on May 13 that 20,224 tickets for "April Snow" have been sold since April 29 in major theaters in nine Japanese cities. That exceeds the 18,950 tickets sold by the Hollywood blockbuster "Tomorrow" by director Roland Emmerich, which opened in Japan in the fall of last year.

"April Snow" made headlines in Japan when some 2,600 tickets were sold on April 29 alone, the first day the movie's ticket went on sale, at a Tokyo theater that was selected as the premier theater to show the movie, and created a sensation by selling tickets five months prior to its opening in the coming fall.
