‘Okja’ crosses 300,000 mark in ticket sales
According to the Korean Film Council, the U.S. streaming giant-invested film has attracted a total of 300,953 moviegoers as of 10:00 a.m. Thursday since its release on June 29.
The outcome was a surprise, however, given the conflict between the two rival forces which allowed the film to secure only 31 screens of non-multiplex theaters nationwide. Three local major multi-screen chains - CJ CGV, Lotte Cinema and Megabox - account for more than 90 percent of the country’s film market.
“Okja’s long run is likely to be possible now that the splendid achievement has been made under unfavorable conditions,” the film’s distributor said.
