Korea Box Office: ‘Luck-key’ Stays on Top, ‘Inferno’ Debuts in Second

Local comedy “Luck-Key” remained on top of the Korean box office for second weekend. The Showbox release earned $10.9 million from 1.46 million admissions between Friday and Sunday, accounting for 66% of the total weekend box office. It has made a total of $31.5 million after two weekends on release.

Opening on Wednesday (Oct. 19), UPI’s “Inferno” landed in second. The mystery thriller earned $3.52 million over five days. The movie’s opening score is bigger than director Ron Howard’s recent releases such as 2015’s “In the Heart of the Sea” and 2013’s “Rush,” but is smaller than that of 2009’s “Angels & Demons” and 2006’s “The Da Vinci Code.”

Fox’s “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” and UPI’s “Don’t Breathe” slipped to third and fourth places respectively. “Miss Peregrine” took $791,000 between Friday and Sunday, for a total of $18.9 million after fourth weekends on release. “Breathe” earned $355,000 for a total of $7.35 million after three weekends.

Opened on Thursday through CGV Arthouse, Korean indie “Queen of Walking” took fifth place and earned $430,000 over four days. The comedy drama is the story of a high school girl who suffers from extreme motion sickness and walks two hours to school instead.
