Avatar leads domestic box office for seventh week (Source) 2010/02/01

Scene from No. 1 movie "Avatar" [20th Century Fox]


Worldwide box office champ "Avatar" continued to set new highs on Korea's box office, becoming the highest grossing film ever released in the country as it topped the tally for the seventh weekend in a row.


According to estimates by the Korean Box Office Information System (KOBIS) on Monday, "Avatar" sold 545,323 tickets between January 29 and 31 to accumulate nearly 11.27 million admissions since its release mid-December.


In cash terms, the sci-fi epic grossed about 101.2 billion won, or about 86.2 million dollars, to become the first film released on the domestic box office to breach the 100 billion won mark.##


The mega-budget 3D pic, which last week became the first overseas film to attract over ten million admissions, brushed past "Silmido" to rank as the fifth most-watched movie in Korea's film history after "The Host", "The King and the Clown", "Taegugki" and "Haeundae" .

Song Kang-ho and Kim Hye-ja have been recognized last year's top film actors by Korean film journalists.


The Korea Film Reporters Association (KOFRA) held the 1st Korean Film Award on Wednesday, naming Song best actor for his role in film "Thirst" and Kim as best actress for her role in "Mother - 2009".


Song, 43, is considered one of Korea's most successful actors who has starred in a handful of hit films including "Memories of Murder", "The Host" and "Thirst", which won the Jury Prize at Cannes earlier last year.##


Kim, 68, is a veteran actress who has received more than a few appraisals for her performa... |More

"Avatar" takes sixth Korean box office win (Source) 2010/01/25

Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" continued to remain the most-watched movie in Korea last week, taking command of the box office for the sixth weekend in a row, according to official box office figures on Monday.


Statistics by the Korean Box Office Information System (KOBIS) showed that the sci-fi action flick drew in 633,881 viewers from January 22 to 24, totalling close to 10.3 million viewers since the film's opening in mid-December.##


The James Cameron pic, currently the sixth most-watched movie in Korea's history after "The Host", "The King and the Clown", "Taegukgi", "Haeundae" and "Silmido", is now just about 80,000 viewers away from moving a step up the chart.


Newly-released Korean comedy "Attack the Gas Station 2" entered the weekend box office in second place with 303,731 viewers while the action comedy film "JEON WOO CHI : The Taoist Wizard" dropped a spot to No. 3 with 296,978 viewers.

'Yi' to Mark 10th Anniversary (Source) 2010/01/17
By Chung Ah-young
Staff Reporter

The play "Yi", better known by its film version, "The King and the Clown", will hit the stage at Seoul Arts Center next month to mark the 10th anniversary of its premiere.

First staged in 2000, the work written by Kim Tae-woong revolves around the relationship between Yeonsan, a tyrant king of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), and his favorite court jester, Gong-gil, and clown leader, Jang-saeng.

The story touches upon the homosexual relationship between the king and the clown, who is portrayed as possessing feminine qualities while also holding onto deep sorrow.

After sweeping major theatrical awards in 2000, the play was adapted into the film version in 2005, coming into the spotlight again with enormous success.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, original cast members such as Kim Nae-ha, Chung Seok-yong and Lee Seung-hun, who have performed in the play over the past decade, will join the revival performance.

"Avatar" becomes sixth most-watched film in Korea (Source) 2010/01/14
Hollywood film "Avatar" has set another record in Korea this week, becoming the sixth most-watched film in the country's history, according to the film's distributor 20th Century Fox Korea on Friday.

As of January 14, the James Cameron pic -- which on Monday was named the most-watched foreign film in Korea -- had attracted over 8.66 million viewers since its release on December 17 to set the new box-office record.

The figures for the sci-fi action flick had surpassed notable Korean blockbusters such as "Take Off" (8.44 million viewers), "D-War" (8.42 mil.), to land at No. 6 on the list of most-watched films of all-time.

The top five spots were all claimed by Korean movies -- "The Host", "The King and the Clown", "Taegukgi", "Haeundae" and "Silmido".

"Avatar" is expected to breach the nine-million viewer mark over the weekend as it is still topping ticket reservations into its fifth week of release.

The film stars Australian actor Sam Worthington as a paraplegic war veter... |More

This is an amazing film, it has everything in it, the visuals are beautiful, the soundtrack fits the film perfectly and the acting is amazing! i was so struck by this film and it was so emotionally charged it brought tears to my eyes. This film has no big name actors but it's appeal is it's simple universal storyline, the subtle yet powerful relationship between Gong-gil and Jaeng-sang. Even though this film has no big name actors in it, watch out for Lee Joon-ki who is amazing in this film he was partly the reason this film did so well, you will love him after watching this film And indeed it is Lee Joon-ki as the King's man who is credited with enabling this film to sell 10 million tickets.

It is a multifaceted masterpiece which can appeal to multifarious crowds: it is a love story, a political drama, a comedy, a tragedy, a musical, a historical gallery, and maybe more.
LJK was freakingly beautiful but it's weird I like his character most in this movie....hmmm....imagine if he's a girl...people would say a beautiful 'weird' girl I suppose...but he's excellent
