The number of movie theater audiences over the weekend decreased by about half.
According to the Korea Film Council's integrated ticketing system on the 27th, the number of moviegoers who visited theaters last weekend (24-26) was 761,077. This is 564,689 fewer than the third weekend of this month (17-19), which had 1,325,766 visitors.
This is due to the decline in the box office momentum of the movie Peninsula. It attracted 595,121 viewers across 2,103 screens (30,310 showings).
