Korean Movies Dominate Box Office

Eight Korean movies are among the top ten box office draws heading into the last week of August.

According to box office statistics, the films "May 18" and "D-War" have made the strongest showing.

The historical drama "May 18", which tells the story of the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, took a 17-point-eight percent share of the domestic market and recaptured first place for the first time in four weeks.

The market share of "D-War" dipped to 17-point-four percent but the monster blockbuster continues to create a box office sensation.

Newly released romantic comedy "The Houseguest and My Mother" ranked third in the list. The combined market share of the eight Korean films stood at a whopping 79-point-two percent.
