- Devil Wears Prada 2 earned $3.3 M in its debut weekend, reaching $4.9 M total from 736,033 admissions.
- Salmokji held third place with $2.7 M, pushing its cumulative gross to $18.3 M and over 2.6 M admissions in its fourth week.
- Project Hail Mary added $776,612, bringing its total to $20.3 M since March 18.
- Audition 109 debuted with $506,887, totaling $1.9 M and nearly 300 k admissions.
- King's Warden logged $258,810, now at 16.78 M admissions and $110.1 M revenue, still short of the all‑time record.
- Korean Film Council reported a weekend market total of $12.2 M, almost double the previous week’s $6.2 M.
Why it matters: Korean theater chains earn $12.2 M this weekend, doubling last week’s $6.2 M, giving them stronger bargaining power with distributors; indie releases lose screen share as big‑budget sequels dominate.
