Frozen passed 10 million admissions in South Korea with
10,043,398
This is a good write up on Frozen's South Korea performance from someone in SK. It really shows just how impressive it's run is there, especially for an animated movie:
[FONT=맑은 고딕]SK frozen total admission #:
10.04m[/FONT]
[FONT=맑은 고딕]Total gross:
$75.36m[/FONT]
[FONT=맑은 고딕]Congratulations to frozen for officially reaching 10m attendance in Korea. The 10m admission is widely recognized as a landmark number in SK box office for “mega-blockbuster” films and to date, only 11 films have achieved this feat. Also, in a market where Korean films traditionally perform much better, Frozen is only the second ever foreign movie, after Avatar, to have reached 10m attendance. [/FONT]
[FONT=맑은 고딕]Frozen is also the first ever animated film to reach 10m, blowing the previous #1 animated film kung-fu panda 2’s record (5.06m attendance) out of orbit. In a country where animated films are extremely unpopular even kung-fu panda’s record was considered to be a huge hit with most popular animations only managing around 3m at best. [/FONT]
[FONT=맑은 고딕]Disney’s previous global hits Tangled and WiR were labeled as a “kids movie” and only managed 1m and 0.9m attendance respectively which makes frozen epic box office run all the more surprising. For the foreseeable future I don’t think any animated movie will come close to matching frozen’s box office numbers (unless Disney makes frozen 2!!!)

[FONT=맑은 고딕]Frozen sing along version is coming out on march 6th so expect frozen’s legs in SK to carry on for a while longer
especially if Disney does a clean sweep at Oscars!!
