\n\tThe South Korean box office experienced a leadership shift during the weekend of Jun. 19\u201321, as Disney and Pixar\u2019s \u201cToy Story 5<\/a>\u201d captured the number one position. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to data from KOBIS, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council, the Hollywood heavy-hitter generated $4.8 million from 713,071 admissions over the three-day frame, securing a powerful 57.64% share of the weekend market. Since its wide theatrical rollout on Jun. 17, the family blockbuster has pulled in a swift cumulative gross of $5.9 million from 872,552 admissions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe arrival of the animated heavyweight pushed local action-horror feature \u201cColony<\/a>\u201d down to second place after a month-long residency at the peak of the charts. The Yeon Sang-ho zombie thriller drew $1.2 million from 188,674 admissions over the frame, taking its cume to $37.8 million from 5,527,523 total tickets. Starring Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Ji Chang-wook, the movie documents an intense breakout attempt inside a mall overrun by a fast-evolving hive-mind virus.<\/p>\n

\n\t1990s retro music comedy \u201cWild Sing\u201d captured third place on the chart, pulling in $863,871 from 133,556 admissions over the three-day window. Directed by Son Jae-gon and starring Gang Dong-won, Uhm Tae-goo, and Park Ji-hyun, the film tracks a faded first-generation K-pop co-ed dance trio making a reckless attempt to stage a comeback two decades after a plagiarism scandal dissolved their careers. The title has crossed the one-million-admissions milestone, accumulating a total local gross of $6.9 million from 1,100,567 tickets since its June 3 release.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBackrooms<\/a>\u201d placed fourth, filtering in $473,822 from 65,895 admissions. Directed by Kane Parsons, the horror feature has extended its local footprint to a total cume of $7.5 million from 1,086,767 admissions.<\/p>\n

\n\tHorror-thriller \u201cThe Shrine\u201d opened in fifth place, drawing $144,325 from 20,311 admissions. Helmed by Japanese filmmaker Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, the cross-border co-production stars Kim Jae-joong as a stylish urban shaman who travels to an abandoned place of worship in Kobe, Japan, alongside a partner played by Gong Seong-ha to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three university students. Since its mid-week premiere on Jun. 17, the thriller has earned a total cumulative gross of $224,835 from 33,421 tickets.<\/p>\n

\n\tSteven Spielberg\u2019s \u201cDisclosure Day<\/a>\u201d was in sixth place, pulling in $121,777 from 18,093 admissions over the weekend to take its local total tracking cume to $1.7 million from 243,252 viewers. <\/p>\n

\n\tMusical biopic \u201cMichael\u201d claimed seventh place with $80,830 from 11,507 admissions, pushing its South Korean gross to $11.5 million. <\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the bottom rungs of the top 10 were a re-release of John Carney\u2019s 2014 musical romance \u201cBegin Again\u201d in eighth place, which drew $82,976 for a historic local cume of $19.3 million, the Kore-eda Hirokazu drama \u201cSheep in The Box\u201d in ninth place with $56,176 for a total cume of $376,865, and Carney\u2019s 2016 musical feature \u201cSing Street\u201d in 10th place, which added $39,905 to stretch its historical local lifetime cume to $3.1 million. <\/p>\n
