Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The South Korean box office got a new chart topper with mystery drama “Sleep,” but the weekend was a sleepy affair. “Sleep” earned $2.97 million over the weekend, according to Friday to Sunday data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic).
Over its full opening five days, it grossed $3.97 million. The film, which had its world premiere in Cannes in May, is the tale of a newly-married couple whose relationship is challenged by the man’s nightly disturbances, in which he claims that someone else is inside him. “Sleep” is directed by Jason Yu and produced by Lewis Kim at Lewis Pictures.
The top-ranked new release meant that “Oppenheimer” slipped to second place after three weeks on top. “Oppenheimer” earned $1.09 million to expand its cumulative total in Korea to $24.0 million.
That is now the tenth highest score of 2023. “Concrete Utopia,” the disaster action-drama that is Korea’s Oscars contender, was third over the weekend with $574,000.
