“With the consecutive successes of creative K-content like ‘The Glory’ and ‘Squid Game,’ movies like ‘The Moon’ clearly show local audiences’ thirst for new subjects, and out-of-the -box creative scenes,” an industry insider said. Industry insiders point out that the success of homegrown blockbusters now heavily depend on a fresh, creative subject and unprecedented setting.
“The Moon” attracted 483,834 moviegoers as of Monday, far short of its break even point of 60 million. A slew of Hollywood space survival flicks like “Gravity” (2013) and “Interstellar” (2014), has left moviegoers growing tired of the genre. The 28 million-won film's scale, meticulously detailed set design and sophisticated use of computer graphics combined was not in itself enough to excite the viewing public. Performing even worse at the box office is “The Moon,” which opened on the same day.Īs widely expected, this moon-themed Korean sci-fi flick repeated the earlier failures of “Space Sweepers” (2021), “Seo Bok” (2021) and “Jung_E” (2022).
“Ransomed” attracted 981,488 moviegoers after its release on Aug. Despite the film’s exotic setting and action-packed storyline, “Ransomed” failed to overcome the jaded audiences’ disappointment in the all-too-familiar plot. “Ransomed,” set in Lebanon, stars the familiar duo of Ha Jung-woo and Ju Ji-hoon from “Along with the Gods,” this time playing men on a mission to rescue a fellow diplomat. Press reviews and viewer responses described a strong sense of deja vu in the plots, which undermined their big budgets and high production values. Meanwhile, two other summer films - “Ransomed” and “The Moon” - are box office bombs. The predictable, melodramatic conclusions of disaster flicks may also work against “Concrete Utopia,” but the unprecedented setting of the film seems ot be a draw. “Concrete Utopia” is based on a webtoon, which is a risk, since a lot of webtoon-inspired films have flopped here.
On the first opening weekend, “Concrete Utopia” attracted 1.12 million moviegoers as of Sunday and looks set to break even, as the film, which has a similar budget to “Smugglers,” nears 4 million moviegoers. 103, the only building left standing after a devastating earthquake in Seoul.
