The South Korean box office experienced a surge over the weekend, thanks to the Lunar New Year holidays. Despite a declining market share, the Hollywood fantasy film 'Wonka' continued to dominate, holding strong at the top spot. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated Hollywood spy comedy 'Argylle' opened disappointingly in seventh position.
The Lunar New Year holidays in Korea spanned three days, from Friday to Sunday, providing an excellent opportunity for moviegoers to visit the cinemas. This holiday footfall resulted in a significant increase in the box office, pushing the overall theatrical market up by 50% from $7.47 million to $11.3 million.
