Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief “Venom: The Last Dance” held on for a second weekend win at the South Korea theatrical box office.
It fended off a decent challenge from local comedy “Amazon Bullseye.” “Venom” earned $2.21 million in its second full weekend of release, down 48% from (a steeply revised figure of) $4.45 million reported by Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council.
Since releasing on Oct 23., “Venom” has built a cumulative total of $9.34 million. Newly released “Amazon Bullseye” shot $1.45 million over the weekend and $2.37 million over its five-day opening run.
Directed by Kim Chang-ju, the film is a comedy about a Korean archery champion who has to learn some humility when a plane crash lands him in the South American jungle and puts him among tribesmen with better bow and arrow skills.
