Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar topped the South Korean box office, accounting for over 70 percent of the market share for the second consecutive week.
The space drama has so far earned more than $35.1 million, according to the Korean Film Council’s KOBIS database. Handled by Warner Brothers Korea, Interstellar has reached nearly 5 million viewers. South Korea, which has a population of just 50 million, measures box-office performance by admissions.
The local drama Cart debuted in second place. The film about the struggles of part-time workers premiered at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year and made headlines for co-starring D.O., a member of the internationally popular K-pop boy band EXO. The title distributed by 9ers Entertainment took 11.62 percent of the revenue, roughly earning a cumulative $2.8 million as of Monday.
